We have an exciting opportunity for you to create and drive initiatives to meet the spiritual needs of older folk, including those whose independence and/or social engagement are limited. You will offer them spiritual support, promote their spiritual welfare and recruit, organise, train and encourage a cohort of volunteers, the Anna Friends, to assist you. You will work with churches ecumenically, with existing groups and in the wider community.

We are a Eucharistically centred, civic, town-centre church in High Barnet with a long standing choral and liturgical tradition. We are at a moment where, together, we can seize the opportunity to grow our faith and share God’s love as we actively reach out to and support each other and the diverse communities that we serve. Our vision is to continue to be a welcoming church, serving local needs demonstrating both individually and collectively a Christian witness that is relevant to the 21st century.

We are a group of three parishes set on the banks of the River Severn and the edge of the Forest of Dean, and close to the city of Gloucester. During this vacancy we have committed to working ever more closely together.

The Bishop of Leicester is seeking to appoint a full-time Rector to serve the two church parish of Birstall and Wanlip.
