Vicar and Chaplain

This is an exciting full time stipendiary role. Two thirds of your time will be spent as Incumbent at St Martins and one third (two days a week in term time) in your work as school chaplain.

St Martins is a friendly, thriving church with the Eucharist at its heart, committed to serving its local community. We are looking for a vicar who:

• Is pastorally gifted and will help us to grow in faith through preaching and teaching.
• Will help us grow numerically and spiritually and build on our musical tradition and work with children and young people.
• Will work with us to engage with our community, building on our established links and helping us develop new connections.

   

  Twyford offers an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of an innovative and thriving London CofE school in the forefront of Christian ministry to young people. We are looking for someone who is vibrant, energetic, with their work informed by contemplative prayer life; as well as someone who is at ease in their engagement with both young people, and the wider staff team. The chaplain would also need to be able to build strong links with St Martins Church.

   

  Together, St Martins and Twyford offer:

• A unique opportunity to shape and develop this new role.
• Assistance from a self-supporting associate priest and three licenced lay ministers.
• An engaged and supportive congregation and chaplaincy team.
• A well-appointed vicarage in an excellent location.
