Priest in Charge (Vicar Designate)

We are seeking a prayerful and compassionate vicar to lead and inspire us as we grow in faith, deepen our spiritual life, and share God’s love in our villages and beyond.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is approachable, reflective, and spiritually grounded

• Preaches the gospel with clarity and conviction

• Nurtures both personal faith and church life

• Enjoys engaging with young people and families

• Values tradition while exploring new forms of worship

Our churches have strong ties with local schools and community groups, and we are keen to build on these relationships. We hope our new vicar will be a visible and welcoming presence - pastorally caring and genuinely invested in village life.

We are excited to grow together in worship, service, and fellowship. You’ll find a supportive and committed church family eager to work alongside you.

If you feel called to lead us with faith, enthusiasm, and love, we would be delighted to hear from you.
