Do you have a heart for showing people where Jesus is working in their community and lives?

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 an open-hearted and collaborative vicar to lead us as we start our journey as a united benefice in this lovely corner of rural Essex. You would be living in the historic small town of Coggeshall, with a flock spread across several surrounding villages.

With a strong musical tradition, combined with Book of Common Prayer liturgy and an emphasis on Biblical preaching, St Simon’s is looking to appoint a Music Director for the morning service to work with a professional choir. We offer a competitive salary and there are additional fees for Weddings, Funerals and other special services.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our senior team in the Diocese of Exeter as Director of Education.
