  • Developing strong positive relationships with key local community leaders

  • Overseeing nominations for Honours and Awards

  • Promoting faith aspects of the Order of St John through County Chaplains

  • Liaising with the St John Fellowship and former members who can provide support and help to local CPGs

  • Organising fundraising at a local level in conjunction with the Head of Priory and CPG Affairs and the Fundraising Department

  • Overseeing the maintenance of the St John county archives
