Are you a prayerful, collaborative leader with a heart for mission and community? We are seeking someone who will:
- Inspire worship and discipleship across three distinct churches, embracing their varied traditions while encouraging growth and creativity.
- Be a visible presence in Winshill, Bretby and Stapenhill, building relationships within the church and wider community.
- Lead with openness and sensitivity, working alongside committed lay teams to nurture faith and strengthen outreach.
- Engage with all ages, especially children, young people and families, and develop links with local schools and organisations.
- Champion inclusion and pastoral care, offering hope and hospitality in contexts of social and economic challenge.
These parishes offer a rich mix of rural and suburban life. St Mark’s in Winshill is a hub of community activity with strong outreach and eco-church commitment. St Wystan’s in Bretby provides a faithful rural presence with deep roots and a warm welcome. Immanuel, Stapenhill, serves a growing estate with a flexible building and a vision to be the spiritual heart of its community. Together, they share a longing to grow younger, deepen discipleship, and explore new ways of being church.
You will be supported by experienced churchwardens, PCCs, and a dedicated ministry team. The vicarage is a spacious four-bedroom home in Winshill, close to schools and local amenities.
