Introduction

Incumbent of St Agnes Birch in Rusholme with St John, St Cyprian Longsight 

and St Chrysostom’s, Victoria Park

We are two diverse, welcoming inner‑city parishes seeking a prayerful, inclusive and collaborative priest to lead us in mission and ministry.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Deeply rooted in prayer, sacramental worship and pastoral care
• A creative and engaging preacher
• Committed to safeguarding and to enabling the gifts of all
• Able to honour the distinctiveness of each parish while encouraging shared ministry
• Ready to help us grow spiritually, numerically and financially
• Confident in inter‑faith and multicultural engagement
• Willing to play a full part in Deanery and Mission Community life

Our context includes strong inter‑faith links, partnerships with local schools, community organisations and hospitals, and a church building used by several Christian communities. We offer committed congregations, a rich multicultural setting, and significant opportunities for mission, outreach and growth.

For more information please see the attached parish profiles, person specification, role description and diocesan statement of needs.
