Rector, Fosse Group Benefice
Ministerial Vacancies
Working for us as a member of clergy in one of our rural, urban, or inner city parishes will be as varied and interesting as the people of Nottinghamshire you serve. The diocese is based in the heart of the East Midlands, close to the bustling city of Nottingham, and with easy access to London by train with good transport links up, down and across the country. You can be assured of regular pastoral and spiritual support from our Discipleship and Ministry Team, ensuring that your development needs are met in your Ministerial Development Review, with opportunities for peer support and personal growth.

Are you someone who brings inspiration, energy, and a pastoral heart to ministry? We are a group of five churches on the edge of the beautiful Vale of Belvoir in South Nottinghamshire, and who are prayerfully seeking a Rector who feels at home in rural life — someone who delights in walking alongside village communities and helping faith take root and grow.
We’re praying for a disciple-maker and encourager, able to nurture faith, draw out gifts, and create space where everyone feels welcomed and valued. You’ll have a heart for families, and a love for both traditional and contemporary worship — recognising the vital role of music in vibrant church life.
With vision and hope, you’ll help us explore new ways of being Church together, strengthening our outreach to children, young people, and families, deepening pastoral care, and fostering collaboration across our benefice. If you’re rooted in Anglican tradition yet eager to see what God is doing next, we would love to hear from you.
We pray that it will help you as you discern whether this is an opportunity God may be calling you to.
