This is a marvellous opportunity for a man or woman to immerse themselves deeply into the church, community, and civic life of this thriving, quirky and historic county town. The three churches of the benefice can offer their new rector a strong supporting team of clergy and lay people, committed worshipping communities, well-maintained historic church buildings and a history of local engagement.

We are looking for a first Rector of our new benefice to introduce younger families and a wider community to the life of our churches in four villages in rural West Kent. We are forming a joint council for the benefice so that we can grow God’s church with a strong leader, supported by an assistant priest as well as paid and volunteer help. We offer a modern rectory, a range of state and independent schools, plus excellent road and rail links from nearby Sevenoaks or Tonbridge.
