Rector, St Leonard’s Church, Wollaton
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.

St Leonard’s church is prayerfully seeking a new Rector who will partner with and lead us. We are excited about what God is already doing amongst us but also believe St Leonard’s offers many opportunities for the right person as we seek to develop our vision and see our church grow in numbers and depth.
In the past two years, we have been encouraged by significant numbers of people joining our fellowship – young and old, new to and returning to faith. This has been accompanied by a growing commitment to prayer, and expectation that God is at work.
As Rector, you will promote a culture of discipleship. This will be characterised by a deepening spirituality, a growing compassion for others, and a determination to share the love of God with the wider community. An experienced and reflective pastor you will be passionate about developing and releasing people to use their gifts.
Please look at our parish profile: https://stleonardswollaton.org.uk/parishprofile/
We pray that it will help you as you discern whether this is an opportunity God may be calling you to.
Closing Date: 7 September 2025 / Interview Date: 3 October 2025
