Team Rector – Bridport, Dorset

The vibrant town of Bridport in Dorset is a wonderful and creative place to live and work.  With both seaside and town ministry, with locals and visitors, the 6 churches, encompassing a range of traditions, have come together as one parish to Make Jesus Known in this growing community.  We are now looking for a confident and experienced leader to come and help us continue our journey together.

Our new Team Rector will work with the fulltime Pioneer Team Vicar, Associate and retired clergy and a team of committed laity with different skills. We seek a collaborative leader, an encourager of gifts.  Someone who will be a calm presence, a prayerful and confident priest, able to comfortably engage with the diversity of our community and our churches.

This role offers many opportunities to develop ministry in our town and in West Bay.  The town has a vibrant arts scene, a high street with many independent shops and regular market, with coast and country on the doorstep.  We are looking forward to giving our new Rector a warm Dorset welcome.
