Priest in Charge | Dunsfold and Hascombe

We seek a priest of prayer and spiritual insight, with enthusiasm for village life, to serve these two rural parishes.

The thriving communities are set in a beautiful part of the Surrey Hills.  There is a wide range of residents including farmers, retired people, commuters and children.

Each village has a church of historic interest (Grade 1 & 2*) and the church communities in both are active in village life and outreach.

There is a well appointed rectory with a good sized garden opposite the church in Dunsfold.

We are seeking:

• Someone with a strong Christian faith
• A sensitive person who can conduct several different styles of services
• A good communicator, able to inspire and engage all age groups
• A provider of pastoral care in different settings in our two villages
• Someone to foster a sense of community, both in the church and in the wider world
• A person able to listen sympathetically and with a sense of humour.

We are committed to the Guildford Clergy Wellbeing Covenant.
