A fantastic opportunity to further develop our two benefices centred on the ancient and thriving market town of Halesworth in beautiful rural NE Suffolk. Lay and ordained ministries are flourishing, and our churches engage creatively with our communities. We stand in the gently liberal catholic tradition, are inclusive and welcoming of all, hopeful and excited about the future God is leading us into.

At the heart of Catholic faith and worship in the Church of England, All Saints offers splendid liturgy with excellent music to the glory of God.  

We seek a missional priest with energy and vitality to lead this well-established, diverse and forward moving benefice, straddling the A1 between Peterborough and Stamford, in the work of growing disciples and caring for our community. There are excellent local schools and transport links.

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.
