Dear Candidate,
Welcome! I’m delighted that you are interested in the role of General Secretary for the Diocese of London.
With my colleagues at the London Diocese Fund (LDF) and our partners at Green Park I look forward to engaging with you in this important appointment process. This is an exciting and opportune moment to join the team.
Seeking to do everything we can to support our parishes, chaplaincies and church plants as they contribute to the flourishing of people and communities across the city, we are looking for an experienced leader who has the desire to play a vital role in the work of the LDF. They will work closely with me, the Area Bishops and Archdeacons, and the broad range of trustees and non-executives.
We hope that our next General Secretary will be a person of strong emotional intelligence who is able to contribute to developing a healthy culture where individuals and diversity flourish.
Working collaboratively and providing advice to Senior Staff, you will lead the LDF as Chair of the Senior Management Group and be a member of the London College of Bishops, Joint Operations Team and other bodies, all working towards our 2030 Vision. We need someone to help ensure the Diocese has the right people, buildings and financial resources to support our ambitions and priorities.
You will be joining an enthusiastic and experienced team who work together to support the life of the Diocese. We are not looking for someone who has all the answers. We are looking for a collaborative and perceptive senior leader with emotional intelligence, strong commercial skills and a broad perspective on mission, who is passionate about our ambitions, and priorities and has the skills to lead and engage across the organisation in delivering our strategic objectives and fulfilling our vision.
The details on this website will give you more information about us and the work of the Diocese of London. The website also provides information on our 2030 Vision. If you have the experience and the commitment to enrich and contribute to our team, we would love to hear from you.
Wishing you all the best with your application.
The Rt Revd Sarah Mullally
Bishop of London
