The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint a Team Vicar to this 5 Villages team, who want to build thriving, future-proof parishes for generations to come. They are working with an evolving Team and Deanery vision to deepen the sense of community belonging, strengthen outreach, and ensure that the church remains a place of refuge, faith, mission and service for all ages.

We are praying for a collaborative leader who will:

  • encourage openness and new ideas to reach out to people of all ages in our communities
  • lead our Team vision to ensure that schools are at the heart of our mission
  • enjoy and embrace the variety of life, liturgical traditions and communities in our expanding villages
  • work as part of the deanery family, especially with a soon to be appointed Deanery Operations Lead, lay and ordained colleagues

What we offer:

  • welcoming and loving communities, our full and prayerful support and a collaborative and dedicated team that values the gifts and strengths of all
