Our mission - To support the integration and engagement in society of marginalised groups.

As  small  charity working  in  close  partnership  with  statutory services  (police,  probation,  schools,

individuals, both young people and adults, who are either involved in the criminal justice system or

space for service users to explore ways to improve their emotional wellbeing particurlaly
in the context of navigating the criminal justice system.

•  Crisis support - Offering emotional support during times of distress, using listening and
grounding techniques, and referring to appropriate services such as crisis teams when
necessary.

•  Referring & signposting - Guiding service users to additional services, such as mental

health support, substance misuse, housing support, community resources, or social care,
when deeper clinical intervention is needed.

•  Empowering - individuals through promoting independence for those who may struggle
with everyday life activities and supporting them to build life skills. Empower individuals
with knowledge about appropriate services and support them to access these when
required.

•  Collaboration – Working closely with other charity team members and statutory services
to ensure the emotional wellbeing of service users is supported as part of a broader
intervention plan.

Our vision as a diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth.

The benefice of Bardsey comprises a single parish with two churches -- All Hallows, Bardsey, and St Mary Magdalene, East Keswick -- in two attractive villages to the north east of Leeds with a total population of 3,594.

The congregations have grown in recent years, both in numbers and in service to the community. There is an enthusiasm to welcome the whole community into the life of the church.

The index of multiple deprivation ranks the parish in the top decile nationally, which brings its own challenges and opportunities. There are active and capable lay leaders who encourage an outward-looking and inclusive ethos. There is good support for eco-mission and for a food share project in an inner city parish.

The PCCs say:

We are looking for a vicar who can lead us in:

• Building on the community mission we have established in the past few years, so that our churches can remain at the heart of the community.
• Supporting adult enquirers and development of appropriate courses for people to grow in discipleship.
• Continuing to see the churches not just as a building for the few but as a resource for the whole community – to encourage through our doors those who do not come to church.

We are seeking of new Vicar who:

• is able to inspire our congregation, help us grow in faith, and encourage new people into our Church life, encouraging young families whilst still having regard for the older members of our congregation.
• approachable and a strong communicator, with good people and pastoral skills, who will be happy to work well with all aspects of our village communities.
• respectful of our traditions and adaptable to the needs of this Church community, while also open to exploring new ideas.
• willing to encourage and enable laity in the planning and leading of worship.
• willing to work with us to build on and develop our mission to the local community, including our work with children and families and eco church, as we embrace change and explore new ideas and forms of worship.
• not afraid to address and manage difficult situations that may arise, with a supportive attitude and a sense of humour.

If this is you, please take time to read the role description, brochure and parish profile.

If you would like an informal conversation regarding the vacancy, please contact Ven Paul Ayers, Archdeacon of Leeds at paul.ayers@leeds.anglican.org
