An open minded and caring priest is sought to provide leadership and vision for the next stage in the life of this well-established benefice of small villages, situated between the market towns of Oundle and Thrapston in North Northants.

This new benefice will bring together four parishes in urban and rural villages set in South Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District.

To better serve our values and priorities, we are building closer partnerships between our church communities, sharing the gifts that God has given us and focussing on enabling the ministry of all God’s people.

The Diocese of Leicester is moving towards framework of Minster Communities, where discipleship, vocations and community discernment are key. The ministry of ordained clergy is vital to healthy parish ministry in the Diocese.
