Oversight of Readers is the responsibility of the Warden, appointed by the Bishop. For many years one of the Suffragan Bishops has served as Warden.
Day to day administration is undertaken by the three Joint Secretaries of the Readers' Association, who are also appointed by the Bishop.
Each Deanery has an Adviser, Clergy or Lay, appointed by the Warden, to exercise pastoral oversight of the Readers in their Deanery. Vocations Advisers, one Lay and one clergy, in each Archdeaconry advise enquirers as part of the process for selecting candidates for Reader Ministry.
For deployment purposes, the Deaneries are grouped into eight Areas, each of which has a secretary who acts as a point of contact for clergy who require the services of a Reader. The secretary may also arrange Area meetings for Readers and trainees.
Details of the current Warden, Joint Secretaries, Advisers and Area Secretaries are contained in the Diocesan Directory.
