Team Rector

FOR SOUTH GILLINGHAM TEAM MINISTRY

Location:

South East

Recruiter:

Ref: JN012715

(Deanery of Gillingham, Kent)

 

Formed in 1990, the Team brings together the four churches of Wigmore, Parkwood, Bredhurst and Hempstead on the edge of the Medway Towns.

 

We are seeking a strong and collaborative leader to work alongside our Ministry Team and volunteers in overseeing the running of our large and varied parish, and gently lead us forward.

 

In particular we would hope our new priest will:

 

  • be a prayerful and encouraging Team Leader with a desire to see God’s Kingdom flourish in the parish;
  • have a heart for reaching out to the community, helping us engage in a relevant way with all age groups;
  • be a people person with good pastoral and communication skills, keen to be involved in people’s lives and be a positive presence in the community;
  • be confident and able to build on our work within schools (e.g. taking assemblies and RE lessons);
  • be comfortable leading, participating in and encouraging a range of worship styles;
  • challenge us as well as nurture and empower us; someone who can lovingly encourage us out of our comfort zone! will help us seek God for a fresh vision for our churches.

You will be supported by a Team Vicar and an experienced and supportive lay team, including churchwardens, PCC and a Parish Administrator. Full details of the post, including the Parish Profile and how to apply, can be found by clicking 'apply for the job' button below.

 

Any queries should be directed in the first instance to the Archdeacon of Rochester’s EA (Fiona Porter) by emailing fiona.porter@rochester.anglican.org
