Modernising I.T. with the right hires, fast

The challenge
The Church of England was in the middle of a major shift in its IT capability – moving away from traditional support functions towards more advanced technology solutions. To keep momentum, they needed to fill critical gaps in their team quickly. This meant balancing fixed-term contract roles to deliver immediate impact alongside permanent hires to build long-term capability.
The difficulty lay in the mix: contractors had to be engaged fast and onboarded smoothly, while permanent hires needed to be carefully matched to ensure cultural fit as well as technical expertise.

The outcome was a series of successful appointments across a range of IT roles. Each hire delivered immediate impact in their area, while collectively strengthening the Church’s long-term technology capability. The combination of short-term expertise and permanent team members gave the IT function both stability and momentum.
The consistent delivery also built trust. Each role was filled with the right person at the right time, enabling the Church to keep its technology ambitions on track.
