The Diocesan Advisory Committee for the Care of Churches (DAC) is the statutory body that advises on matters relating to the care and use of church buildings within the Diocese. We are currently looking for an DAC Administrator to join this small but busy team based at the Diocesan Office in Rochester.

The DAC Administrator will provide administrative support to the DAC team in ensuring statutory responsibilities and governance are implemented in line with legislation regarding church buildings.

The successful applicant should have strong attention to detail and have excellent organisational and planning skills with a proactive approach to work. You must be an excellent communicator with the ability to use your own initiative. A strong administrative background is essential ideally within an outward facing role. Experience gained in a property-based role/environment would be beneficial although not essential, as would an interest and understanding of church buildings.
