Clergy Vacancies
Vicar of Orford St Margaret and Priest in Charge of Orford St Andrew
We are two different churches in the sense of tradition, location and facility but with one desire to share God’s love with all people across our communities. As a team, we are a work in progress; we are exploring growth but find the necessary change challenging. We work together well but could do more; we strive to be inclusive but don't always get it right. We are looking for ways to be more sustainable and working towards Eco Church awards, but our circumstances and contexts can make this difficult.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Team Rector who will be sensitive to the contexts and needs of both parishes, in terms of mission, worship and demographic. To enable the clergy to focus on mission priorities and supporting worship, members of the PCC take responsibility for administrative matters such as finance, buildings and maintenance, the church diary and preparation of materials to support services.
We are offering you a supportive and welcoming church community who will respect your time off and the need to care for your own wellbeing and that of your family. We commit to working with you, to being open to new ways of working and helping to provide the resources you need.

Team Vicar with Evangelism Lead in Church Wigan
Here in Wigan we see God at work, sending streams of living water to bring fresh hope and new life to people and places. And we believe God wants to do even more, that our communities will rejoice and bloom.
Therefore we want to appoint to the team a priest who is an evangelist. We want someone whose passion to see the gospel proclaimed beyond the boundaries of the church will keep pushing us outward, who can lead on embedding a culture of evangelism as well as key outreach activities, and nurture new evangelists. Might that be you?
You will be a senior figure in the Wigan clergy team that shares the prayer, discernment and planning of the whole mission to Wigan, and which provides peer support and spiritual formation. At the same time, you will be a crucial part of the excellent parish team in Chapelfields, working closely with local clergy colleagues, Hub Leadership Team (HLT) and other lay leaders.
This is a key leadership role, with an impact on a Wigan-wide and local level. This role is not so much a split role as it is a chance for an evangelistic clergy leader to exercise their gift fruitfully as part of their activities at pan-Wigan and local level.
