• Lead across the Team in identifying and seeking to establish new worshipping communities, with particular attention to non-book culture.
• Support and strengthen existing mission initiatives amongst children, young people and families, including with local schools, developing a Team approach wherever possible and being attentive to the Growing Faith agenda.
• Work with Team Rector to deepen discipleship, strengthening and developing new leaders.
• Work with all team colleagues and PCCs to simplify governance and administration, possibly through pastoral re-organisation, in order to better resource mission and ministry across the Team.
• Build confidence and strength in these post-industrial settings as appropriate, enabling Mission Action Plan goals to be achieved.

The four Parishes that make up the East Scarsdale Team (Holy Cross, Upper Langwith; Holy Trinity, Shirebrook; St Luke’s Whaley Thorns; St Michael’s, Pleasley) were constituted as a Team Ministry in 1994. They are currently resourced by a Team Rector and Team Vicar (this post).

The Benefice is situated on the north-eastern edge of Derby Diocese, close to Mansfield. With a rich heritage of innovation and hard work, many of the characteristics of post-industrial contexts are present here including areas of social deprivation and new housing development.

The Rectory is a large 4-bedroomed house in Shirebrook, close to Holy Trinity Church.
