About Us

The Diocese of Edinburgh is one of 7 dioceses which form the structure of the Scottish Episcopal Church, part of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Each Diocese is run by a Diocesan Bishop who oversees the spiritual and practical concerns of all the clergy and lay (non-ordained) people within their own diocese. The Diocese of Edinburgh covers the City of Edinburgh, the Lothians and stretches from the Firth of Forth down to the English border.

The Diocesan Office supports the Bishop of Edinburgh in the delivery of the priorities of the Diocese. It is accountable for the management and delivery of a range of services for the Diocese, particularly mission and ministry, governance, finance, buildings and communications.

The new role of Diocesan Office Communications & Support Officer has been created to re-align the workflows of the office and increase the efficiency of the small administrative team. There is a friendly culture of sharing and collaboration amongst the staff, along with the diocese’s commitment to both personal and professional development for all staff.
