A booklet outlining clergy terms of service.
Since 2011, Common Tenure has formed part of a framework of terms of service that brings security, clarity, and the opportunity for people to work together to encourage and support the clergy’s ministry.
Common Tenure arrangements bring with them some specific arrangements, including:
- Statement of Particulars – a statement detailing rights, responsibilities and accountabilities
- Roles and Responsibilities Document – an overview of the role, key contacts and initial objectives
In addition the Diocese offers a Clergy and Parish Handbook with which clergy are able to access information and policies, advice and guidance across a full range of “terms and conditions” and practical issues.
There are a number of downloadable documents below which you may find helpful and several which are the templates of current work such as the Roles and Responsibilities document and the template Working Agreement.
If you have any queries about your Statement, or any policy or guidance in the Clergy and Parish Handbook on our website please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Ruth Cameron: ku.gr1776185476o.coi1776185476dsolg1776185476@nore1776185476macr1776185476
