Rector of the Harling and Guiltcross benefice

A group of rural parishes located in South Norfolk – ten churches, each with its own distinct character and history, together serving the mission and ministry in this area.

Norfolk is a wonderful county in which to live, with excellent facilities.  There are beautiful coastlines to explore, areas of outstanding national beauty to be found.  The benefice sits on the A11 corridor with easy access to Norwich (35 mins), Cambridge (55 mins) and London (2 hrs). A mainline train service runs through the benefice connecting to Cambridge, Norwich and further afield.

We are praying for a Priest who will:

• support us to grow in faith, discipleship and vocation, equipping us to serve.
• embrace the diversity of liturgical and worship styles enjoyed in the benefice.
• be committed to lead us forward and encouraging us to work collaboratively.
• Appreciate and enjoy rural life and reach out to our community to share the love of God to all.
• enable our church to grow younger and more diverse.
