Description
The Safeguarding & HR Administrative Assistant provides administrative support for all ministries at The Falls Church Anglican by assisting with the screening and training of our volunteers. Working at the direction of the Director of HR & Operations, the Safeguarding Coordinator will implement protection policies for children and vulnerable adults. TFCA affirms and complies with The Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic Policies for protection of children, and more can be read about that policy here. This is a part-time hybrid role where it can be done both in and out of the office.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Safeguarding Process Management:
Manage the safeguarding requirements as required by our Diocese, including the process to get all qualified volunteers across all ministries screened and trained appropriately. This includes tracking the progress of all volunteers, sending out all required forms and video trainings, as well as in-person session information. It also includes all logistics and planning for any in-person training, with the potential to be the trainer as well. Optimize the safeguarding process such that all requirements are met and completed in the most efficient way possible. This may involve implementing new technologies to help both TFCA’s volunteers and internal staff navigate this well.
HR Administrative Support:
Support the Director of HR & Operations with drafting and posting job descriptions, along with managing the interview process for candidates. Additional support could include records management, onboarding, orientation, communication and compliance.
Other duties as assigned to support safeguarding, HR and operations.

Employees of The Falls Church Anglican come together to serve God, one another, our congregation, our community and our world. As disciples of Christ, our employees steward their responsibilities with care, demonstrating the fruits of the Spirit in their daily responsibilities. We offer a workplace focused on the excellence that glorifies God as we perform our work, both in readiness to do our daily tasks and in embracing and knowing how the Word of God applies as we serve. We also model grace in our interactions, in thankfulness to the grace we are given in Christ.
We do not require all employees to be Anglicans, but because of our essential identity as a community of faith in Jesus Christ, we require all employees to wholeheartedly believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no one comes to the Father but by Him. As a community, we submit to the authority of the Holy Scriptures as the standard for Christian faith and life. We uphold the sanctity and dignity of human life, the creation of humankind in God’s image as male and female, and the unchangeable standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman as the only proper place for sexual intimacy and the basis of the family.
