The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint a Team Rector to this large Team Ministry, set in a beautiful part of the country. This is a time of new opportunities in the Team with a number of new appointments and an energy to work together in creative ways.

 In our Team Rector, we are looking for someone who will:

  • be at the heart of a supportive, visionary, diverse team
  • prioritise enabling and resourcing lay and ordained local leaders
  • help us put children and young people at the centre of all we do – especially building relationships with our schools
  • explore with us the development of a pattern of ministry that will be both fruitful and sustainable for years to come

In the Vicar of CHQ Parish, we hope for:

  • a priest with pastoral warmth, who will be visible in our communities
  • a good balance of enjoying tradition and excited by creativity
  • an organised and collaborative leader
  • a faithful disciple who will lead others in worship and faith
