The Diocese of Canterbury said the Refugee Projects Officer position would enhance the work already done by the Church in Kent and over the English Channel in Dover.
The position has been developed in partnership with Migrant Help, Kent Refugee Action Network (KRAN) and has been funded largely through money donated by parishioners in the Diocese.
It's now open to applications.
The Bishop of Dover, Rt Revd Trevor Willmott, said: "As a Diocese we have been moved by the plight of refugees from across the continent, and have particularly tried to reach out to those vulnerable adults and unaccompanied young children who find themselves in one of the makeshift camps in France, or assessment centres in Kent.
"Churches have responded by donating goods, informing themselves of the often complex issues, praying, and, where possible, showing welcome.
"As our involvement with those already working with refugees deepened, it became increasingly clear that we needed to move beyond our initial acts of compassion, and do something more sustained. This is what this post is all about."
The Diocese said the new Refugee Projects Officer will "help sustain the relationships" between the Church and organisations working to help refugees.
The person selected will also be expected to coordinate volunteers who can deliver hospitality and training to refugees.
They will also be expected to raise the issue on a national level.
The Bishop added: "This is not about us as a Church reinventing the wheel, but rather providing a dedicated officer who can come alongside those already engaged in this work and seeing how we can aide and assist them.
"As a faith community we have much to offer, whether that is buildings where language lessons can take place, networks through which we can help organise collections of practical goods, or sourcing volunteers from within our church communities."
