Rector Benefice of Backwell with Chelvey and Brockley

We are looking for an energetic, outward-looking, people person who is passionate about helping us to extend the Kingdom of God in our villages.  Our Benefice in North Somerset has 2 beautiful churches from which we are looking to reach our communities.
We are praying that our new Rector will help us take this Vision forward – so are you:

  • A prayerful leader who is guided by the Holy Spirit?
  • A skilled communicator who can comfortably engage with all to tell the story of Jesus?
  • Wanting to be a ‘Visible Vicar’ in our community as we seek to be a transforming presence? 
  • Passionate about Children, Young People and Families – as we are looking to extend our existing outreach to them through the schools? 
  • Able to lead us in unity, celebrating the diversity of worship we offer?
  • A collaborative team player who will encourage cross church initiatives?

We can offer:

  • Support from 2 lay leaders, 2 retired clergy, 2 PCCs and 4 churchwardens
  • A paid Children and Young People’s worker fully engaged with the local junior school
  • A paid Administrator in our Benefice office
  • A modern 5-bedroom Rectory
  • 2 beautiful well-maintained historic church buildings
