A pair of parishes invites a new Rector to join our welcoming communities in fellowship.

As part of a collegial team of clergy serving the central part of the growing town of Basingstoke we are seeking a Priest.  

We are a single parish, single church benefice in the pretty market town of Ellesmere with its natural meres, wildlife & nearby canal network. We are seeking a priest who will take inspiration & spiritual strength from this idyllic setting to provide us with positive & enthusiastic leadership to enable us to grow our congregation and engage with our community.

This is a senior, long-term role which suits either a highly experienced media or communications professional with a proven track record in a similar role, or a mature journalist or producer looking to apply their experience of news and stories in an institution that puts prayer and discernment at the heart of everything we do to create a more just and sustainable world. But it could equally suit a younger person with obvious talent and passion and communications skills seeking to develop and grow within a spirited organization of highly motivated men and women.
