Priest-in-Charge of Biggin Hill, St Mark
Job Title:
Priest-in-Charge of Biggin Hill, St Mark

Parish Name:
St Mark, Biggin Hill
Area:
Bromley & Bexley Archdeaconry
Work Terms:
Full-time
Applications Deadline:
25/02/2026
Interview Date:
23/03/2026
Other Information:
The parish of Biggin Hill (pop. 12,018) is a small town - still referred to by many residents as a 'village' - on the edge of the London Borough of Bromley. It is mainly residential and surrounded by beautiful, open countryside, yet sits within just a few miles of the M25.
The Living is currently suspended to allow for the possibility of future pastoral reorganisation, but the hope is that our new priest will guide the parish towards achieving its full potential and the suspension being lifted.
The ideal candidate will be:
- A prayerful and practical leader, keen to develop the prayer life of the congregation;
- Able to work collaboratively with our enthusiastic ministry team, and have experience enabling others in their discipleship;
- Comfortable leading a wide range of worship styles;
- Creative in extending the use of our church space and facilities;
- Willing to work with a team to establish a Youth Group.
St Mark's Church was dedicated in 1959 and is Grade II Listed. A complete refurbishment of the lighting has recently been completed, enabling a range of lighting arrangements for traditional worship, concerts and other community events. The modern audio-visual system enables Parish Communion services to be live-streamed and recorded, which is very popular.
The Church Hall complex is very well used by a number of local organisations, with a large hall, separate lounge, well-equipped kitchen, meeting room and office.
The adjacent Vicarage is a 4-bedroom family home with a separate study, double garage and good-sized garden providing private and well-screened accommodation.
Sunday Worship takes place at 10.30am, with an All-Age Family Service on the first Sunday and Parish Communion services on other Sundays (USA 50-55). Worship is supported by a choir and band or keyboard player with a mix of hymns and songs. A said Midweek Communion takes place on a Wednesday morning (USA 12). There are also a number of special services held throughout the year. Full details can be seen in the accompanying Parish Profile.
Biggin Hill is renowned for its contribution to WWII when the RAF base within the parish played a key role in defence of Britain. Our priest also acts as Chaplain to St George's RAF Memorial Chapel, taking one service per month in the Chapel as well as supporting and working alongside their ministry team.
You will be supported by an enthusiastic and experienced PCC, a part-time paid Administrator, an LLM-in-training, a Pastoral Visiting Team, and a large number of volunteers who all play a part in regularly organising and planning church activities and outreach (including five who have completed the Hearing and Speaking God's Word course and able to lead worship and/or preach).
For an informal discussion with the Archdeacon of Bromley & Bexley, The Ven Allie Kerr, about this post, please contact her EA, Fiona Porter, by emailing fiona.porter@rochester.anglican.org
The wider a group’s diversity, the smarter, wiser, and more compassionate and creative its decision making becomes. We are committed to achieving diversity throughout our Diocese by seeking UKME/GMH colleagues and those from a wide-range of backgrounds, to help us create a culture of inclusion and belonging.

Senior Engineer (Restoration)
Job Description
About the Trust
We're one of the UK’s biggest charities and we care for 2,000 miles of canals, rivers, docks and reservoirs because we believe life is better by water. We're looking for people who support our cause and want to make a difference for future generations. Could this be you?
Along with our waterways we also manage museums, archives and the country's third largest collection of historic buildings, as well as the nature and wildlife that calls our canals home. All of this enables us to provide wellbeing opportunities for millions of people each year.
*** Contract: Initial 12-month fixed term or secondment contract ***
Location & coverage: The role will be based working from home, with the allocation of a nearby Hub for collaborative working. This is a national role and there will be an expectation that the successful candidate will be able travel to attend meetings or fieldwork throughout the waterway network of England and Wales. The concentration of works means our relevant regional hubs include: Leeds, Newark, Milton Keynes. See our network here (https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network).
Our team and opportunity
The Trust owns and manages 2000 miles of waterway, and the vast majority of this is open to navigation and used and enjoyed by many thousands of people on boats every day. A small part of the network is not currently open to navigation and these sections are generally classed as unrestored. The financial position of the Trust is such that it is not in a position to restore these sections back to a full navigable standard, although their towpaths remain open to walkers and the canals in general provide a habitat for wildlife.
Most unrestored sections of canal have a restoration society associated with them and these societies aspire to restore their section of canal back to a full navigable standard. These societies generally comprise a good number of volunteers, who between them have much knowledge and experience in a wide variety of roles, from engineering to fundraising and ecology to construction. From time to time they approach the Trust with their restoration plans and in partnership, over the past few decades, a number of sections of canal have been restored back to a full navigable standard.
Such works vary in terms of their scale and scope and some can be quite significant civil engineering projects which require a significant amount of time for the Trust. The challenge of maintaining our already open network means that we do not have the spare resource to provide this support from our existing team and are proposing an alternative way of working. Going forward restoration societies wanting to deliver restoration on Trust property, which is often undertaken using volunteers, will need to cover the cost of our time. The majority of the support required by restoration groups will require an engineer, with their associated costs being recoverable; this is the role that we are now recruiting for.
About the role
This Senior Engineer (Restoration) will act as the Trust point of contact for restorations and will specifically:
- Carry out the role of Client under CDM regulations.
- Assess the resources needed to deliver the tasks the Trust needs to deliver.
- Assess the appointment of desig...
