We are seeking a vicar whose life and leadership spring from a deep and strong personal faith in Jesus. Someone with an understanding of contemporary issues who is committed to the gospel, to personal prayer and is led by the Spirit.

We are looking for a Rector for these attractive villages (combined population 4,362; ER: 174; USA: 65) in the south-east corner of East Sussex, near to the historic town of Rye. The benefice comprises three parishes and four churches, with the Rector based in Brede and an Associate Vicar in Beckley and Peasmarsh.

Our benefice of four parishes is centred on the popular small town of Bruton in beautiful Somerset. Bruton is a lively, rejuvenated town with a growing reputation for food, the arts and creativity, as well as exceptional schooling. Surrounded by thriving rural communities and churches which offer different styles of worship, the Rector will enjoy a modern rectory in Bruton and an office with some administrative support.
