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.
