Work With Us
Administration Assistant
30 hours per week
Are you an organised person with an eye for detail and a talent for keeping things running smoothly?
Bristol Cathedral is looking to recruit a part-time Administration Assistant to provide vital support to our Operations team. This varied and rewarding role will help ensure the Cathedral can fulfil its mission as a place of worship, welcome and community engagement in the heart of Bristol.
Working closely with the People Coordinator, Finance Assistant and Finance Director, you will provide administrative support across a range of areas including HR, finance, databases, compliance and general office administration. You will also play an important role as a first point of contact for staff, volunteers and visitors.
We are not looking for a specialist in one particular field. Instead, we’re seeking someone who is highly organised, comfortable using IT systems, able to manage multiple priorities, and keen to learn new skills. If you enjoy variety, take pride in accuracy, and like helping others, we’d love to hear from you.
