The successful candidate would enhance the worshipping life and outreach of a community accustomed to a high standard of traditional music. But we have a wide spectrum of worship needs so the director would also be willing to explore informal/contemporary music styles.

Our Benefice is just west of Stafford and the four churches cover several rural villages. Farming is the main local activity but there are also significant numbers of commuters who work in the surrounding towns and cities. All our churches are within a 3 mile radius from the rectory, which is in Haughton, the largest village.

The Benefice is located on the wonderful North Suffolk coast between Lowestoft to the north and Southwold to the south. It is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a benefice of four, small, rural parishes.

St Peter’s is situated in Newington, an attractive diverse neighbourhood in Edinburgh’s Southside. We enjoy a rich variety of liturgical traditions and music, but are keen to develop more flexible patterns of worship. We work actively in our community, individually and in partnership with others, and recognise that there are real opportunities to build pathways into faith and membership of St Peter’s.
