Interim Priest, Swindon Deanery
Vacancy Reference cofe/TP/112204/8928
Introduction
Interim Priest for Swindon Deanery.
The Bishop of Bristol is looking to appoint an Interim Priest for Swindon Deanery.
Interim post, for an initial period of 3 years.
This role can be part or full time or House for Duty. An excellent house is available in Wroughton.
The Diocese wishes to take a strategic approach to vacancies within the Deanery. We want vacancies to be times of spiritual discernment, even growth, when parishes become more confident in Christ’s call to them and in exercising ministry. We hope that interim leadership by a priest can give benefices in vacancy the solidity of support that they need to thrive. We hope that loving guidance can help benefices grow in the Diocesan values of Creativity, Openness, Generosity and Bravery, and enable them to approach recruitment with an outward looking spirit.
For an informal conversation: Christopher Bryan, Archdeacon of Malmesbury please email christopher.bryan@bristoldiocese.org
Closing Date: 11:59pm 1 September
Familiarisation and Interviews: Monday 29 September and Tuesday 30 September
The Diocese of Bristol is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory Enhanced DBS Check. Those with disabilities or those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds are under-represented in our diocese, so we particularly encourage applications from people in these groups. |
