The Bishop of Chichester as patron seeks an inspiring, collaborative and community-focussed priest and pastor for this prominent parish in East Sussex.

The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint a Rector for this lively and active rural benefice of seven parishes with a strong sense of mutual support and teamwork, a clear commitment to mission and evangelism, and a growing sense of unity across a diversity of worship traditions (stretching from BCP to Café Church and a ‘New Wine’ style service).

We are a new grouping of five parishes located in rural South Somerset centred around Somerton, the ancient capital of Wessex, following the recent re-organisation in the Ivelchester Deanery. We expect to become a new Benefice shortly and eagerly await the vital missing piece of our faith and community jigsaw – a new Priest in Charge.

We are seeking an Anglican priest (full time incumbent level stipend +10% & housing) who is a team player with vision and flair as our new Dean of Mission to increase capacity for mission in the Two Cities (City of Westminster and the City of London)
