New Diocesan Chief Operating Officer
Thursday 21st March 2019The Trustees of the Diocese of Salford have appointed Pauline Morgan to the newly created role of Diocesan Chief Operating Officer.
Pauline will join the organisation in June leaving her current role at the University of Manchester.

On the announcement of her new position Pauline said,
“It’s a wonderful privilege for me to be able to bring my professional skills to the Diocese of Salford. As a parishioner of the diocese I have a strong connection to the Church and its communities.
I have worked in several roles as part of my parish and the diocese and I am very excited about taking on this role and leading the diocesan Central Services Team and supporting the exciting work that’s going on to serve the people of the diocese.”
Bishop John, said, “I’m very much looking forward to working with Pauline. The experience and skills she brings, together with her background and commitment to the Church, will allow her to play a vital role in our diocesan journey.”
