Situated in the South of Wisbech Lynn Marshland Deanery in the Diocese of Ely, the newly formed Orchard-Welle benefice comprises a group of five parishes serving a population of around fifteen thousand people in a mixture of large & small Fenland villages. The area is semi-rural, with open fields and big skies and is criss-crossed by the waterways which characterise the Fens.

The Rector of Orchard-Welle is called to lead, pastor, and reimagine Anglican presence and witness across a newly formed five-parish rural benefice. The post holder will work collaboratively to shape a sustainable, hopeful pattern of church life rooted in prayer, community engagement, and realistic use of limited resources.

This role is about leading change, and enabling the 5 congregations now united as the Orchard Welle Benefice congregation to move forward and continue to develop a service that fits the future needs of the parishioners in a fast-changing world.
