What You'll Be Doing
As Executive Assistant to the Bishop of Bradwell you will play a key part in developing and fostering the culture of the Bradwell Episcopal Area as a place of flourishing and joyful Christian ministry. This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic, high-profile environment where your contribution will have a direct and meaningful impact.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have:
* Outstanding administrative, EA and secretarial skills
* IT proficiency, including Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Excel
* Ability to organise own workload, to set priorities, and to work to deadlines
