The Diocese of Bath and Wells is vibrant, diverse and innovative, supporting and resourcing confident Christian communities across Somerset to live out the mission of the Church in action. The Diocese serves a population of around a million people, across both rural and urban areas, and encompasses areas of both great wealth and of considerable material poverty. We have a rich history, beautiful landscapes and amazing people blessed with an extraordinary diversity of backgrounds, experiences, skills and abilities. 

The Chair of the Board of Finance plays a key role in the governance of the Diocese, as a wise and critical friend and partner who contributes to our governance, supports our development of strategy, helps us make informed decisions about our allocation of resources and who supports our stewardship of the assets and heritage we have been given. Our team is diverse and resourceful, and our Chair of the Board of Finance will be a pragmatic, creative, strategic, innovative, faithful and collaborative colleague, who will help us to navigate how best to meet our ministerial needs and our financial reality.

We are keen to speak to people with commercial and financial skills, who want to put these at the service of the Diocese to build a strong future.
