About The Role
We are seeking to appoint a locally supported part-time Associate Priest for this lively historic church in the City of London: a community serving the needs of local workers, residents and visitors to London from around the world.
We are looking for an Associate Priest to join the ministry team at a time of change and opportunity. This is a part-time role, three days a week to work alongside the Vicar and Assistant Curate in leading the mission and ministry of All Hallows by the Tower. The church is about to go into vacancy and so the first 9-12 months of the post will be carried out during an interregnum.
Be a faithful member of the clergy team and share in the prayer and pastoral life of the church, supporting its congregation, staff and volunteers and wider community.
Lead and preach at regular Sunday and weekday services, including the 11.00am Sunday Parish Eucharist, Wednesday 6.00pm Taizé service and Thursday 8.30am Eucharist service.
Lead occasional offices (baptisms, weddings and funerals) and take part in the regular daily offices.
Prepare liturgy for regular services following the liturgical year.
Clergy lead on the upcoming roof project, working with the QI/Project Manager and Fabric Committee.
Liaise with Livery Companies, charities and other organisations and with individuals in the preparation and leading of special services and memorials.
Be an active member of the local cluster and help to shape and develop this work as it serves the local community.
Share in the representation of the church at City events and activities.
Attend PCC meetings and other meetings as required.
Attend Deanery Chapter and Synod where available.
- An experienced and faithful priest and pastor with broad parish ministry experience
- A collaborate team player.
- A gifted preacher and teacher.
- Excellent experience of hands-on parish management, including the running of a medium sized building project in a listed church building, and proven operational and financial competencies.
- Experience of ministering during a time of change in church life e.g. during a vacancy or equivalent would be an advantage.
- Experience of a ‘gathered’ church congregation and a diverse community.
Equal Opportunities
The Diocese of London is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of Global Majority Heritage/United Kingdom Minority Ethnic (GMH/UKME), women, and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy and workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase this representation.
