Click

New employment legislation has given clergy within the Church of England certain employment rights for the first time. As a result, many of the Bishops within the Church of England have decided to appoint HR Managers and Advisers to assist them with the implementation of this legislation.

• What particular challenges might be faced by the church in identifying and appointing suitable candidates for these positions?
• Are there any special or unique characteristics in suitable candidates for such roles?
• What would you expect to find in the person specification for roles such as these?
• Would you expect the selection process for such positions to be any different to a secular position?
