The Acting Bishop of Durham invites applications for the position of Team Vicar to serve the parish of the Upper Skerne.
This is an exciting half-time role with the support of a collaborative and missionally-minded Team Rector and a parish with realistic expectations about the scope and nature of a half-time Team Vicar role.
Upper Skerne is a parish of five church buildings in a mixture of market towns, villages, and former mining communities. Since the arrival of the Team Rector in June 2024, the parish has started more pioneering ministries and they are beginning to bear fruit, with several people coming to faith for the first time.
The vicarage is a modern, 4-bedroom property situated in the village of Bishop Middleham, a three-minute walk from St Michael’s with the other four churches of the parish lying within a ten-minute drive.
For more information or an informal conversation, please contact the Team Rector, David Lucas: rev.davidjlucas@gmail.com
Please send all applications to human.resources@durham.anglican.org
Closing date: 24 Feb 2026
