Benefice of Winscombe and Sandford with Churchill are seeking a Vicar.
Joint Patrons: The Chapters of Wells Cathedral and Bristol Cathedral
We are two parishes with three churches in the beautiful North Somerset countryside and are eager to find a new Vicar to come and work alongside us as we seek to put the love of Christ at the heart of our three villages.
We are praying that our new Vicar will be someone who:

- be a good listener, communicator and facilitator
- has the ability to recognise individual gifts and further develop our collaborative team
- is confident, friendly, visible and approachable, eager to play an active part in the life of our villages
We can offer:
- a supportive team of Leaders, Churchwardens and volunteers with a shared commitment to grow and develop our vision
- church communities who want to grow and welcome others
- a paid part-time Benefice administrator in our Benefice Office
- desirable location in the North Somerset countryside
