Property and Trusts Adviser

Job description

Property and Trusts Adviser

We are seeking a qualified property professional (ideally a qualified solicitor) with significant experience of property asset trust matters. This is a full time, permanent role within our Property Team with responsibility for legal and regulatory matters affecting the Board’s investment land, property assets, custodian and other trusts. Flexible terms and working patterns (including hybrid working) are possible for the right candidate. You will need to be able to spend some of your working time at the diocesan offices (currently in St Albans).

Ecclesiastical law and Glebe property are a very ‘niche’ field, but our team will support you to up-skill in this area if you have the relevant transferable skills. Main areas of work for the role include:

• Management of financial and property trusts issues including the Board’s own trusts and PCC and Vicar/Churchwarden trusts
• Managing legal matters including conveyancing in the diocesan housing portfolio, through external solicitors
• Assisting with legal matters across the diocesan glebe portfolio in conjunction with the managing agent Bidwells
• Responsibility for financial and property trusts issues as they relate to the Diocesan Board of Education
• Supporting other diocesan trustees

Our Property Director, Charlotte Kirby, would be pleased to have a conversation with you to provide further information or answer any questions you may have about the role ().
