Might God be calling you to share in Living Christ’s Story here in
the Diocese of York?
We are seeking an imaginative and confident senior colleague to be our next Director of Mission and Ministry, who will bring a creative and faith-filled approach to embracing both the opportunities and challenges of the future, contributing significantly to the ongoing change management that is taking place across the Diocese.
Reporting to the Diocesan Secretary (CEO), and working closely with the suffragan bishops, the post holder will be a member of the Diocesan Leadership team, leading a team of experienced colleagues as they provide specialist support to lay and ordained ministers and the parishes in which they serve, inspiring the missional renewal of the whole People of God.
There is a genuine occupational requirement that the appointee must be a communicant member of the Church of England or of a church in full communion with it, and eligible to hold the Archbishop’s authorisation to preach and to lead public worship.
The post will involve frequent travel within the Diocese, and attendance at events that take place outside normal office hours (for which time off in lieu may be offered).
