Rector of Esher

Introduction

Our parish has two wonderful churches - Christ Church, known for its choral music and liturgical worship, and St George’s, offering an intimate setting and powerful sense of community. 

We seek a Rector who: 

• Lives a joyful faith, with spiritual insight and a gift for teaching 
• Communicates with imagination and enthusiasm 
• Leads with kindness, integrity and inclusivity 
• Is open-hearted, with a forward-looking perspective 
• Is approachable, pastoral and present. 

We would like our new Rector to help us: 

• Grow our children, young people and family ministry 
• Deepen our life of prayer and friendship 
• Develop worship that reflects the breadth of our parish 
• Strengthen service locally and in the world. 

We offer a spacious rectory, a short walk from both churches, a supportive PCC and dedicated staff team. We have two church schools, primary and secondary, linked to the parish.

As a diocese we believe that diversity is a strength.  We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who are female, younger, identify themselves as a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it's essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
