JOBS & OPPORTUNITIES

Assistant Facilities Manager

We’re looking for someone to join our Facilities Team to support the day-to-day maintenance and management of our portfolio of church buildings, offices and residential properties, and to be the lead Duty Manager for Sunday services and external/internal events. This is a full-time role, and you’ll be joining the team at an exciting and historic time as we prepare to move back into St Michael le Belfrey next year following the completion of the Impact project.

Contract: Permanent

Start Date: September 2026 or as soon as possible after that

Salary: Band B, £26,750 per annum

Hours: Full time (37.5 FTE). Working days must include Sundays and Mondays; the rest of the weekly hours will be worked flexibly depending on requirements. Evening and weekend work will be necessary.

Deadline for applications: midnight on Sunday 16th August

To apply, please email Kirsty Parsons, HR Manager at recruitment@belfrey.org with your CV and a cover letter outlining your suitability for the role.

If you have any questions about the role, please feel free to reach out to John Hanna, Facilities Manager

Verger / External Events Support Team

We are looking for several people to join our Verger teams.

We host a wide range of services and events each week at The Belfrey. Some of these are our own events, and others are part of our venue hire programme - you might be working at one of our Sunday services, a wedding, funeral, conference or music concert. Our vergers are vital members of the Operations Team, who help facilitate these: they keep our buildings and event spaces clean and safe; help with set-up and pack-down; and sometimes work on small maintenance tasks.

This is a casual role with flexible hours based on a rota; we expect to be offering you a minimum of 4 hours per month. The type of events you would be interested in working at will be discussed at the interview stage, and we will take preferences (for example predominantly weddings, or only Sunday services) into account. However, it may be a requirement to work the occasional Sunday service in order to meet minimum contractual hour requirements. 

To apply, or for any questions, please email Kirsty Parsons, HR manager, at recruitment@belfrey.org with your CV and a cover letter briefly outlining your suitability for the role.

Associate Minister (Church Planting)

Are you passionate about church planting, leadership development and seeing healthy, growing churches reach new people? The Diocese of York and St Michael-le-Belfrey (The Belfrey) are seeking an inspiring and entrepreneurial leader to take on this unique joint role, combining strategic diocesan leadership with ministry in one of the UK's leading resource churches.

As Church Planting Lead, you will drive the implementation of the Diocese of York's Church Planting Strategy, building the systems, partnerships and pathways needed to establish sustainable church plants and New Worshipping Communities across diverse contexts.

As Associate Minister (Church Planting) at The Belfrey, you will help nurture a culture of multiplication, develop emerging leaders, and support the church's ongoing mission to plant and resource churches across the Diocese and beyond. Working across both organisations, you will connect parishes, deaneries, resource churches and diocesan teams, championing collaboration, innovation and shared learning as we seek to grow churches of missionary disciples and reach those not currently engaged with church.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has a clear calling and passion for church planting and mission.

• Can develop and implement strategy while inspiring others.

• Has experience of leadership development and forming disciples.

• Thrives on collaboration, relationship-building and innovation.

• Is committed to seeing churches flourish in a wide range of contexts.

Together, the Diocese of York and The Belfrey are committed to Living Christ's Story by becoming more like Christ, reaching those we currently don't, growing churches of missionary disciples, and transforming our capacity for mission.

Applicants must be in priest’s orders at the time of appointment. The successful candidate will be an experienced priest with a deep understanding of the Church of England, a proven commitment to church planting and growth, and a track record of collaborative leadership.
