Working for us as a member of clergy in one of our rural, urban, or inner city parishes will be as varied and interesting as the people of Nottinghamshire you serve. The diocese is based in the heart of the East Midlands, close to the bustling city of Nottingham, and with easy access to London by train with good transport links up, down and across the country. You can be assured of regular pastoral and spiritual support from our Discipleship and Ministry Team, ensuring that your development needs are met in your Ministerial Development Review, with opportunities for peer support and personal growth.

Ready to lead our benefice into a bold new chapter? The Benefice of Skegby with Teversal is seeking a prayerful, collaborative and mission-minded priest to help us grow in faith, deepen our mission and serve our communities with renewed confidence.

Our three churches — St Andrew’s, Skegby; All Saints’, Stanton Hill; and St Katherine’s, Teversal — are rooted in local life and ready for fresh vision, stronger discipleship and creative engagement with schools, families and the wider community.

We are looking for a priest who will:

  • Lead with vision, warmth and courage
  • Inspire lively faith, prayer and discipleship
  • Encourage lay gifts and release confident leadership
  • Build lively connections with children, young people and families
  • Make the Church visible, welcoming and active in the community
  • Unite three distinctive churches in shared mission and purpose

You will be supported by:

  • A benefice with energy, commitment and a shared heart for mission
  • Dedicated lay leaders, churchwardens and volunteers ready to work alongside you
  • Active community ministries and strong links with local schools
  • A supportive deanery and diocesan network
  • Administrative support
  • A spacious four-bedroom vicarage

Set on the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire border, this is a varied and promising context — former mining communities, rural villages and growing residential areas — with real scope for imaginative mission and ministry.

If you are ready to help churches flourish, communities connect and people grow as disciples of Christ, we would love to hear from you.
