The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint an Associate Priest to this exciting new role sharing in ministry across this beautiful and varied Benefice and encouraging a focus on work with children and families.


This is a House and Half Stipend post (Sunday plus 3 days). We are praying for a priest who will:

  • Enjoy the variety of this area (with new housing, large and small villages, with creative opportunities and traditional rhythms)
  • Work with lay and ordained colleagues to reach out to children and their families, schools and communities in new ways
  • Thrive in being a collaborative leader in the Benefice and wider Deanery
