Vacancies


Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Do you want to use your skills and talents to serve others?

The Diocese of Manchester has a variety of  job opportunities available, ranging from administrative roles to ministry positions. We are a diverse and inclusive organisation that values creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to growing, nurturing and serving our community. If you are looking for a fulfilling career where you can grow personally and professionally, we encourage you to explore our vacancies.

Manchester Diocesan Board of Finance and Board of Education have been awarded the Investors in People ‘We invest in people’ Gold Award recognising the effective leadership, ongoing support and motivated team based at St John’s House.

The Investors in People (IIP) assessment framework provides a benchmark against the best performing companies. An assessor carried out employee interviews and reviewed the approach and processes within the organisation to assess our current performance, and suggest improvements for the future. The Gold Award is granted to organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to their people. Only 17% of IIP-accredited organisations achieve the gold standard, and we have been working towards this for several years.

The IIP assessor said, “The culture is dynamic and supportive with a real sense of being a values-based organisation… Your people are proud to work for Manchester Diocesan Board of Finance and feel a high sense of commitment to ensuring that they are successful.”
