Church Army is a fast-growing, dynamic organisation which works predominantly with those on the margins; across UK and Ireland there are Church Army Evangelists in post, including in its Centres of Mission, hostels, and in projects such as those that work with young people struggling with issues resulting in self-harm. We are a strong and vibrant community dedicated to serve and we have always sought to show the love of Christ unconditionally to all those who need us.

The Bishop of Blackburn invites applications for this post at a time of exciting opportunity for the implementation of our Diocesan Vision towards the celebration of our centenary as a Diocese in 2026.

We are searching for a skilled team leader to be the first incumbent of this new benefice who will lead the three parishes as they grow a distinct identity together. There is an Associate House for Duty priest based in Spittal and other ministers lay and ordained who support a mission and ministry team.

We are seeking to appoint a House for Duty Minister to support the incumbent in realising our vision in the Parish of Hordle, with specific responsibilities for St Andrew’s, Tiptoe.
