Help our Church of Angels take flight

A unique and exciting opportunity to lead our vibrant and thriving church community in a beautiful historic city.

Whilst our famous Doom Painting and magnificent host of angels refer to our past heritage and our civic role in the life of Salisbury, St Thomas’s potent mix of tradition and innovation has seen continued growth in our own church community.

We are searching for someone who will inspire us to move forward on our spiritual journey and mission. We need a leader who can provide the energy and vision to increase outreach to our local community, support pastoral care among our church members and help nurture our growing numbers of young families and children.

A single, inclusive church, we embrace traditional, liturgical worship, yet welcome creative new approaches in our church services and ministry.
