House for Duty Priest in Charge of Colchester
Town Centre Parishes

The Bishop of Colchester in consultation with Simeon's Trustees

seeks a new House for Duty Priest in Charge
(Sunday and two days a week equivalent)
for the United Benefice of St Botolph and St Peter,
in Colchester Town Centre.

The benefice serves the town centre of the historic town of Colchester and the combined electoral rolls number 137. The full-time Workplace Chaplain is an associate minister in the benefice and there are eager lay colleagues in each parish.

The new Priest in Charge will be

• A person with vision for visible ministry in our established and developing town centre
• A warm pastor to the two congregations
• An inspiring preacher
• Capable of nurturing Christians across church tradition.

There is an attractive, private, modern Vicarage close to St Peter's Church and mainline rail services to London are within walking distance.

Post subject to CRB Disclosure.
Applications to be received by Friday 9th December.
A Day of Visits and Interviews will be held for short-listed candidates
early in the new year.
