Job Vacancies

We are a church which has been transformed by the Leading Your Church into Growth programme and we would wish to continue to build our progress.

We are looking for a passionate and energetic vicar who will recognise gifts in others and encourage them to use them for God’s purposes and lead teams of volunteers to reach out to all ages and grow St Michael’s in the community.   We want a vicar who will lead us to a deeper love of God and His Son, Jesus Christ. 

We are offering you a warm, welcoming and growing congregation who will support you both in prayer and practical aspects. We love to be actively involved in church services and events within and outside the church walls. We have a highly experienced PCC and team of Lay Readers, Church Wardens, Pastoral Assistant and Parish Administrator. We will be flexible in how you organise your week and know you need to take holidays and time off. 

After prayerful discernment St Michael’s voted in September 2025 to work with 8 other parishes in Sefton North and South Deaneries with the intention of becoming a Larger Single Parish. We are at the start of this journey supported by the Diocese of Liverpool’s ‘Fit for Mission’ team. This will mean that you will join a collaborative and supportive Clergy Leadership Team, and you will help us and the other churches to shape our new Larger Single Parish.

This is a part-time post equivalent to 3 days + Sundays without housing but with housing allowance provided pro rata or the option for House for Duty would also be possible.

St Peter’s Church is praying for a new vicar who will join us in bringing the gospel of God’s love and redemption to the people of Parr, situated in the deanery of St Helens in the diocese of Liverpool.  St Helens lies mid-way between Liverpool and Manchester and is surrounded by two major roads – the A58 and the A580, along with the motorways M6, M62 and M57, giving good links to two international airports, several universities and teaching hospitals.

We are an evangelical church with an outreach ministry to people of all ages and stages in our low-income community.  Our regular activities include a toddler group, coffee mornings, free hot refreshments, and we have good links with local schools and care homes. 

Our beautifully re-ordered church building is a focal point for local heritage interest, as well as a flexible space.  Our worship is structured without being overly informal – we do, however, robe for communion and pastoral services.  

We are looking for a vicar who will:

• Work alongside us, to develop and direct the gifts of the whole congregation, and deepen our Christian discipleship; 
• Be a catalyst for our mission to the community, interested in people of all-ages, and able to nurture growth in our church.
• Offer pastoral ministry within the church family

We can offer you:

• A small team of dedicated church members who all play our part in the mission and ministry of our church;
• An ethos motivated by the compassion and love of Jesus where all are welcome, and where we go the extra mile to serve the needs of our community. 

This post is offered under Common Tenure EITHER as a House-for-Duty post with a four-bedroom vicarage provided, OR as a part-time 0.4 stipendiary post without housing provided at a stipend of £15,836, depending on the needs of the person appointed.

We are looking to appoint two full-time stipendiary clergy to lead these four parishes: St James with St Matthews, St John’s Ravenhead, St Luke’s Eccleston and St Mark’s North Road. 

St James with St Matthew’s, St John’s and St Luke’s are the Eccleston team and have a good history of closer collaboration: St Mark’s is new to the grouping but we envisage it working effectively as part of the team. All four churches are broadly evangelical in character, but with different characters and senses of identity, and serving different communities in the north and east of the town of St Helens.

One of you will be Team Rector of the Eccleston Team and Priest-in-Charge of St Mark’s, with overall responsibility for the team, and one will be Team Vicar in the Eccleston Team and Associate Priest of St Mark’s. We hope that you will minister closely together as colleagues, as well as each offering focal ministry in two of the parishes.

Below you will find details of Team Rector and Priest in Charge and you can find details of Team Vicar and Associate Priest here: https://www.cofepathways.org/members/modules/job/detail.php?record=9810 

Housing is provided in St James Vicarage, 159a St Helens Road, Eccleston Park L34 2QB and in St John’s Vicarage, Crossley Road WA10 3ND. Both are comfortable family homes next to two of our churches.
