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.

Aldridge, a small well appointed town boasts a healthcare centre, supermarket and several good primary and secondary schools.

Worshipping God with Joy, Growing in Faith, Serving with Love, and Welcoming All  

We are looking for a facilitator of change to come and work with colleagues to reshape within this predominantly rural benefice and the wider Deanery. The churches of the Chase Benefice occupy a valley in Cranborne Chase running north/south 5 miles to the East of Blandford Forum, in the glorious Dorset countryside. The beautiful Purbeck and Jurassic coast is within half an hour’s drive.
