Flexible Work, Better Balance
Priest-in-Charge of Upwell, Outwell & Fen Orchards (0.6 FTE), Rector Designate of Orchard Welle Benefice, Cambridgeshire
This is a half stipend post (meaning Sundays plus 3 days, 0.6 FTE), held on common tenure terms, working within your benefice of Orchard-Welle (comprising 5 former parishes: Upwell, Outwell, Elm, Emneth and Friday Bridge). We will work with you to ensure that the role stays within those time boundaries, so you can have space to flourish within and outside work.
The main aim of the role is to help bring to birth the church of the future from the prayers and buildings of the past. You will collaborate with ordained and lay colleagues and members of local communities to dream and then build a vibrant expression of church in each place, holding in mind the Church of England vision of 10,000 new worshipping communities and a church that is younger and more diverse.
