The Diocese takes its responsibilities to its staff very seriously and assists our stakeholders to achieve the strategic objectives of the Diocese which are Prayer, Formation and Mission, as outlined in our Pastoral Plan The Word Who is Life.
The Arundel and Brighton Diocesan Trust employs more than 250 staff in parishes and diocesan central office, and is committed to paying all members of staff at the rate published by the UK’s Living Wage Foundation.
Staff members should refer any issues to the Chief Operating Officer, who is based at The St Philip Howard Centre in Crawley. You can contact the COO by email. HR support is provided by the COO's Executive Assistant who can be contacted by email, here.

When is the monthly cut off for payroll and expenses?
All payroll and expenses forms must be received in Crawley by the close of business on the 12th day of each month. Please email these to payroll here.
How do I claim for mileage and other expenses?
Expenses can be paid via payroll for staff. Mileage can be claimed at 55p for the first 10,000 miles in each tax year and 25p per mile thereafter. Please keep a log of all mileage claimed. Click here for the expenses form.
Your expenses form must be signed off by the Parish Priest or diocesan officer/line manager who is expecting to receive it. Please scan a signed off copy to payroll by email. If you are not a member of staff but are claiming expenses from the Diocese, email the form to our Finance Team.
