Mission Associates – Rural Clusters
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.

Our vision is to grow disciples of Christ, with Compassion, Confidence and Courage – across the different contexts of our diocese. We want to see this realised in our wonderful rural villages and have developed an innovative model for mission and ministry to bring this about.
We are now in a position to appoint clergy who are excited by this vision to stipendiary posts as Mission Associates (Priests-in-Charge) in our rural clusters who will be playing an integral part of the team leading this forward.
Are you someone who is passionate about lives being transformed and seeing churches flourish? Can you work collaboratively and creatively with a well-resourced team of lay and ordained colleagues?
Our model for rural revitalisation is built upon our learning to date and seeks to link local missional opportunities with strategically placed resources and leadership, focussed around a common vision led by our Lead Mission Enablers.
Do you have the skills, gifts and calling to be part of this vision? Our parishes are beautiful and wonderful places to work. As a diocese we work to deliver our visionary aspirations together to enable the growth and health of the local church and offer support through learning communities, leadership, training and expertise from our diocesan team at Jubilee House.
