The Church Commissioners for England wish to appoint a professionally qualified Case Officer to work alongside Dioceses in the West Midland region of England to settle the future and disposal of closed church properties. 

This is a unique role based at the Birmingham diocesan offices. You will be part of a regionally located specialist national team who pro-actively deal with the legislative processes and sensitive issues associated with settling the future and disposal of closed churches including providing specialist advice on the suitability of proposed uses, property and planning issues, and the operation of ecclesiastical legislation. 

You will be able to use your initiative and professional skills to negotiate with a wide range of stakeholders including dioceses, local authorities, parish councils, Historic England, agents, legal representatives, local residents, community organisations and purchasers.

Professionally qualified (MRTPI / RICS / RIBA / IHBC or equivalent), you will ideally have experience of working with buildings of historic significance. You will be a self-motivated ‘team player’ with good communication and IT skills and be able to travel extensively to fulfil the duties of the post.
