The Team is restructuring and looking forward with the recruitment of two Team Vicars (one to be licensed in September 2022). Could you build faith in a large, diverse and challenging parish?

This Team Vicar will take a lead for the CONGREGATION strand of our strategy. You will need to develop your understanding of what this means and make links within the HeartEdge network and beyond to support our development.
