Manchester Diocese
Are you a prayerful, Spirit-led priest with a heart for people, a love of Scripture, and a passion for mission? The Parish of Holcombe and Hawkshaw, on the edge of the West Pennine Moors in Greater Manchester, is seeking a new Rector and Mission Community Leader for the next stage of our journey. We are a welcoming, outward-looking parish with three supportive worshipping centres, offering a range of worship styles – from traditional Anglican liturgy and choral worship to informal, all-age and contemporary services. At the heart of our life is a shared vision: loving God, loving our neighbours, and sharing Jesus with all. We are looking for a vicar rooted in prayer and confident in Bible-based preaching and teaching; someone able to engage people of all ages, encourage diverse worship, and empower both ordained and lay leaders. You will value pastoral care, be committed to safeguarding, and have the vision to lead growth in faith, discipleship and community engagement. The parish is supported by an enthusiastic ministry team, strong links with local schools, a part-time Children and Families Lead, and a range of missional activities. A substantial vicarage is provided next to St Mary’s, Hawkshaw. For an informal conversation, contact Archdeacon Rachel Mann at: rachelmann@manchester.anglican.org Visit www.cpas.org.uk/jobs-ministry for an application pack or contact the Patronage Team: patronage@cpas.org.uk
