St Thomas, Wells, with the Horringtons is a growing congregation in a single church in the beautiful Somerset city of Wells.

The role is the pastoral and spiritual care of some 30 residents in 24 self-contained flats within the grounds of the Hospital, which was founded in 1215, and has its own chapel with a daily act of worship. Applications are invited from priests of the Church of England with a proven record of pastoral and administrative experience.

This two-parish benefice, embracing both rural and urban communities in South Somerset, is situated in a pleasant location with good road and rail links. We long to reach out with the love of God more widely into our communities and to see God’s kingdom grow.
