Introduction
Dear Applicant, Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the appointment of the Head of Property and Glebe Land at the Diocese of Bath & Wells. Extending across Somerset and North Devon including Bath, Wells, Exmoor, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and surrounding areas, the Diocese of Bath & Wells operates across 477 parishes. The Diocese incorporates a portfolio of over 3,000 acres of glebe land and more than 300 buildings including an investment portfolio (residential and commercial) and operational residential assets. The Diocese is keen to realise the opportunity to generate additional value from its land, housing and investment portfolios. Following a restructure of the Property Services team, the role of Head of Property and Glebe Land will oversee a review of the current portfolio and devise and implement the long-term land and property strategy, which supports the delivery of the Diocesan strategic agenda and growth of investment returns. As the Property Services Team Leader, you will be responsible for a team of up to eight staff including the Property Manager (Diocesan Surveyor), and three members of support staff, facilities co-ordinator and cleaning staff who oversee the day-to-day management of the housing portfolio including planned maintenance and reactive repairs of around 250 clergy homes. This is an exciting time to join the Diocese to spear head the strategic direction of the Diocese’s land and property investment portfolio, which will have a significant impact on the organisation and its people, including clergy, volunteers and members of the local community. I hope that the following information provides greater detail regarding the Head of Property and Glebe Land appointment and that you may consider applying. Sharon Kindleysides Chief Executive Officer
