Job Vacancies

We are Church St Helens: one parish with eleven churches and a team of ten stipendiary clergy, learning together what it means to work as a team to the glory of God in St Helens. We are aiming to work more closely with one another: bringing together our laity and clergy to be more effective in mission, discipleship, leadership and justice. This continues to be a work in progress and we are looking for a dynamic leader who can continue this journey of change with us. 

You will lead two of our churches on the east side of the town of St Helens: St Paul’s Blackbrook and St Philip’s Parr. They are warm and welcoming communities, with great local teams of lay people. You will have a heart for introducing people to Jesus, deepening discipleship, developing Christian leaders and working for justice.

As part of the wider team you will find a contribution to the whole by developing a portfolio ministry according to your skills. We would love to develop our evangelism and our communications, but we would also love to see the passion and skills you will bring.

We are looking forward to serving with you.

St Mary’s Grassendale is a medium/large active church in the south of Liverpool. The church is prominently situated on a main road, with its adjacent parish hall which is well used by a range of church groups and private rentals.

 The current parish has a population of 9,076 and a deprivation rating of 23.08. The Parish encompasses a range of socio-economic backgrounds and housing types, with many social housing initiatives within the Parish, and large privately owned Victorian houses in the roads immediately behind the church.

 There are excellent transport links locally, with Cressington metro station a 1-minute walk away, a bus stop outside the Church Hall, and a 15 minute ride into the city centre, or to Liverpool John Lennon Airport. The parish includes a local high street, supermarket, Library, Garston park and leisure centre, Otterspool Promenade along the River Mersey, hairdressers, Beauty Therapists, Nursing and Residential Homes, Bars, Restaurants and Cafes and the newly refurbished Adventure Playground – the ‘Venny’.

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.

For an informal conversation, contact Archdeacon Simon Fisher: simon.fisher@liverpool.anglican.org

We are an evangelical church with a faithful congregation with a usual Sunday attendance of 30 people with a wonderful opportunity for a priest to be creative and introduce new acts of worship and many missional opportunities. The church building itself has great potential as a community resource which villagers would welcome.

We are looking for a passionate, pastoral, approachable, friendly and caring priest who has experience of successful leadership and a desire to see the church grow.  You will be able to identify, build and strengthen the congregation, communicate well and provide Bible based teaching to enable people to put faith into action.

We are offering you a friendly, enthusiastic church family with 3 retired clergy and extensive lay ministry. 

The Vicarage is on a housing development very close to the church, detached with 5 bedrooms and garden.  

Newburgh is close to Parbold with a railway station and easy access to Southport and Wigan. It is in a rural setting and has a population of about 1000 with many facilities including a post office with small shop and café, The Red Lion pub, Eden café and a farm shop Wilton House. Applecast charity supports young people with learning difficulties and Newburgh CE school is rated as Outstanding by OFSTED. 

Please see the Person Specification, Role Description, Bishops’ statement and Parish Profile attached for further details of the role and the essential and desirable qualities we are seeking in relation to this post.

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

We are looking for a priest who has the energy, vision and courage to help us grow our Church by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in ways that are attractive to the communities we serve. Both our Churches have engaged with ‘Leading your Church into Growth’ (LYCiG) and have woven their mission prayer into our liturgy and our prayer life. This engagement has underpinned our outreach work and informed our thinking as we work to grow our Churches.

Holy Trinity was built in 1890 and re-ordered in 2015 when pews were replaced by flexible seating, a new foyer was added with a range of facilities and a mezzanine floor was created at the west end of the nave. Our approach is broadly Liberal Evangelical. We often follow the lectionary but regularly enjoy embarking on a sermon series to encourage spiritual growth in a particular area and to give a freshness to our teaching and preaching. We value our relationship with Trinity St Peter’s CE school very highly.

St Michael and All Angels is an attractive grade 2* listed building and the only public building in the parish. Over the years we have held several artists’ days, retreats, open days and guided tours and is the meeting place for Great Altcar Parish Council. We have an extensive church garden and graveyard. We leave areas of the grounds unmown to encourage wildlife and we have placed several bird and bat boxes in the surrounding trees. We are a silver Eco church. A number of special services are held which are part of rural tradition at Rogationtide and Harvest, for example

Our united benefice has a gifted ministry team which includes an associate self supporting priest, 3 retired clergy, 5 lay readers and 3 informal worship leaders and preachers. In addition we have 2 organists/directors of music and a worship group at Holy Trinity and a robed choir at St Michael’s.

The vicarage is a short distance from the Church in the heart of Formby. It is a well- maintained, spacious and modern 4 -bedroom house with lovely gardens to front and rear.

Formby is a small town of about 25,000 and there are 2 other Anglican churches. Holy Trinity church itself lies in the commercial and shopping heart known as the ‘Village’ . The village provides a central and bustling location for everyday shopping opportunities with chains like Boots, Iceland, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer Simply Food outlets but also smaller family run businesses. It has a modern swimming pool and fitness centre. Altcar is comprised of Great Altcar, a farming community, which is also home to ‘Farmer Ted’s’ and Little Altcar where most of the 3000 parishioners live. It is seen considerable growth with the the building of a new estate, Pinewood Park.

Transport links whether by bus or train are good to Liverpool and Southport and further afield to Manchester. If you’re up for a bit of a drive, within two hours you can reach the scenic coasts of North Wales, or head inland to the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, and Peak District. Locally, you can discover the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust Centre at Martin Mere, the historic Rufford Old Hall (National Trust), and the relaxing Formby Hall Golf Club. Formby Little Theatre and the Atkinson Arts Centre in Southport offer a lively mix of visual and performing arts. In Liverpool, You’ll have easy access to top venues like the Everyman Theatre, Liverpool Empire, Philharmonic Hall, and the Liverpool Arena. Art lovers will enjoy the rich variety of galleries including Tate Liverpool, the Walker Art Gallery, and Bluecoat.

We are praying for the right person to step into this role and join us in sharing the hope and love of Jesus with the world. Could that be you?

The Diocese of Liverpool is currently undertaking a Strategic Transformation Programme, encouraging growth and long-term sustainability. Hope Parish Liverpool, is a newly envisaged parish which will be formed from six single parishes within Toxteth and Wavertree. The churches involved are mid-way through the transition period to create this change. For more information please see https://hopeparishliverpool.org/

The Team Rector of the St Luke in the City team is also the Change Lead for the Hope Parish Liverpool Programme. To support this work, the Team Rector, who is totally blind, requires a dedicated Personal Assistant.

This role is crucial in enabling the Team Rector to fulfil their duties effectively and independently: removing barriers in the workplace such as being in unfamiliar locations; accessing visual material which is not accessible; and ensuring full and accessible participation in all aspects of parish and wider diocesan life. The ideal candidate will provide both administrative and practical support to the work of the Team Rector.

Purpose of the Role

The purpose of this role is to provide flexible, on-the-job assistance to the Team Rector (and Change Lead) of the Hope Parish Liverpool programme, serving Toxteth, Wavertree, and the Dingle, enabling them to carry out their responsibilities in ministry, administration leadership, and public engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Acting as a sighted guide in unfamiliar or complex environments (e.g., meetings, events.)
• Facilitating travelling between offices.
• Support with accessing inaccessible written materials – including reading hard-copy documents, handwritten notes, and inaccessible electronic documentation and material.
• Note-taking during meetings.
• Assisting with technology gaps where software is not compatible with screen reading technology.
• Supporting with presentations, visual materials, or data entry tasks that cannot be easily accessed independently.
• Accompanying the Rector to off-site meetings, conferences, or visits as required.
• Working flexibly in line with the Rector’s schedule, including occasional evening and weekend commitments.
