Job Details

Your new company 
The teams working from the Diocesan Office provide a range of services to support the mission and ministry of the clergy, parishes, churches and schools that make up the Church of England across North and East Yorkshire, including Hull, York and Middlesbrough, two National Parks and the Yorkshire Coast.  With around 60 staff, of all faiths and none, they care for their buildings with their Property team.  They have a portfolio which comprises around 3,000 acres of land, and just under 300 residential houses to maintain and manage, whilst increasing value and efficiency of the estate.

Your new role 
As a building surveyor in the role of Operational Property Surveyor, you will take responsibility for planned maintenance, condition surveying, specification of works and contract management.  You will bring your technical expertise to domestic property management by delivering schemes of improvements, identify, specify and manage maintenance, and procure, authorize and cost manage budgets for works.  You will project manage, monitoring contractors and undertake contract administration, ensuring works are completed effectively and in a timely manner.  You will also have input in the strategic decisions which inform acquisition and disposal or investment in property.  This is a real opportunity to work across the range of usual surveying responsibilities, in a varied and interesting job.

What you'll need to succeed 
You will be educated to degree or equivalent level in Building Surveying or Construction Management or similar.  You will have experience with property surveying and residential housing, as well as a good understanding of health and safety, relevant legislation and a flexible, can-do attitude.  If you are MRICS status, AssocRICS, or MCIOB then that would be a great benefit, but is not essential if you can demonstrate relevant experience.  A driving licence will be required for the role, and a DBS will be undertaken.

What you'll get in return 
The Diocese of York is a values-driven employer and enables each member of staff to make their best contribution to their goals.  The salary begins at £33,150 upwards and you will be offered and excellent pension scheme, a 35 hour working week, 5 weeks annual leave, professional fees paid, and a range of employee benefits.

What you need to do now
Sarah Atkinson and Stephanie McKay are managing this vacancy exclusively for Hays, and you can give them a call to discuss confidentially.  You can visit microsites.hays.co.uk/jobs/diocese-of-york for more information and for downloadable job information, and click Apply Now to send your CV. Applications will be considered upon receipt, and interviews held on 2nd August.

Company

With its network of parishes covering the country, the Church of England plays an active role in national life, bringing an important Christian dimension to the nation as well as strengthening community life.  The Church of England is arranged geographically into 41 dioceses, each under the care of a Bishop, and covers every part of England.

The Diocese of York is a family of 607 churches and 127 schools in 470 parishes, which extends from Middlesbrough on the River Tees to Hull on the River Humber, and from the east coast of Yorkshire about as far west as the A1 road.  Led and guided by the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, our vision is to be a family of Generous Churches Making and Nurturing Disciples.

The Diocesan Office is located at Clifton Moor on the northern edge of York.  The teams operating from there provide a range of services aimed at supporting the mission and ministry of our churches, parishes and schools.  Our Property Team is a fundamental part of this, playing a key role in the deployment and support of the clergy who are at the heart of our work.

The operational property portfolio consists of around 300 properties, with a value in excess of £100 million, which are held for the deployment of clergy to provide ministry across the diocese.  The team is responsible for asset management, property management, statutory compliance and care of occupants.  The team also works with external partners on the estate management of the glebe portfolio of 3,000 acres, as well as administration and advice in relation to parish properties and trusts.
