We are looking for a highly organised, experienced and exceptional administrator to work as a trusted partner to The Chief Operating Officer (COO) and The Dean at Gloucester Cathedral. This key role within the charity requires a thinker who can anticipate needs, manage priorities, and support The Dean and COO’s leadership function.

You’ll be working closely with teams across the Cathedral Community - including our Clergy and diocese colleagues, so the ability to form positive relationships with various stakeholders is crucial.
The ideal candidate will have:

· A high degree of confidentiality and flexibility
Crucially, you will love to organise and drive forward actions while building meaningful relationships. In return, we offer the rewarding experience of working in a high profile, multi-faceted heritage site with a supportive team who are committed to what they do.
