The Bishop of Newcastle wishes to appoint a full-time priest to be Team Rector to the Benefice of Benwell Team Ministry.

Benwell and Scotswood are to the West of Newcastle City Centre with a diverse population and a vibrant community life. A new Team Rector is sought who can bring energy and vision to the creative missional work of the churches throughout the team. We are looking to increase capacity to engage with the different challenges and opportunities in the area whilst deepening the discipleship and ministry of those in our congregations.

Key to this role is working to strengthen the infrastructure around the current mission priorities of the parish. This includes enabling the current congregations to continue to deepen their faith, engage with the community and grow their participation in mission and ministry. There are distinct worship centres across the parish but a growing sense of church communities seeking to worship and serve as one. Another main part of this role is continuing close links with the West End Foodbank and other community partnerships, as well as strengthening schools’ work.

Might God be calling you to Benwell, as a priest with an enthusiasm for building relationships across different communities, confident in the role of the church as a community development partner, a passion to see people grow in faith and confidence and a vision for celebrating the Good News?

For an informal conversation, and expressions of interest, contact:
