Rector of St Paul’s Hasland, Vicar of St James’ Temple Normanton & Priest in Charge of St Peter’s Calow

Introduction

Rector of St Paul’s Hasland, Vicar of St James’ Temple Normanton & 
Priest-in-Charge of St Peter’s Calow
Full-time stipendiary post

This benefice of three Anglo-Catholic parishes on the southeastern edge of the Peak District offers a rich and rewarding ministry across village, suburban, and semi-rural contexts. The churches share a commitment to sacramental worship, pastoral care, and community engagement, and are praying for a priest who will lead them into a renewed season of growth, collaboration, and mission.

We are seeking a missional, collaborative priest who:

• Is rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, with the Eucharist at the heart of ministry and worship.
• Will nurture and grow relationships with schools, especially Calow Church School, and develop outreach to children, families, and young people.
• Is pastorally present and visible in the community, including care homes, new housing areas, and civic life.
• Can inspire and equip lay leaders, enabling the gifts of the whole church to flourish.
• Will work creatively across the benefice to shape a shared vision while honouring each parish’s identity.
• Is resilient and hopeful in the face of financial and structural challenges and committed to building sustainable ministry.
• Embodies the diocesan values of generous faith, courageous hope, and life-giving love.

The Rectory is a spacious 1970s 4-bedroom house in Hasland, adjacent to the church, with a large garden and garage.
