The beautiful benefice of Washburn and Mid-Wharfe, in the Harrogate deanery comprises six churches which serve small villages, hamlets, scattered dwellings and farms.

We need a clergy member of our Mission & Pastoral Committee, which helps the Church deploy its clergy and buildings in the most effective way to serve the needs of parishes. The Committee meets up to ten times a year and its main work is to consider representations that arise out of diocesan proposals for parish reorganisation and in relation to clergy housing and glebe.

This is a new senior role for the development of Christian communities, pioneer ministry and fresh expressions including co-ordination and oversight of our church planting projects in strategic mission priority areas.
