We are praying for a new Rector who will work with us in a ‘growth’ agenda, who will be an enthusiastic enabler and motivator, who will get out and about to meet as many people as possible, and who is keen to work with youngsters. Our commitment to our new incumbent: Practical and prayerful support. A committed body of church members who are friendly and welcoming. Support from our SSM, Readers, Lay Elders, Churchwardens and PCCs. Willingness to continue a practice where each parish takes responsibility for the practicalities of ministry, worship and compliance. Time and opportunity to nurture your personal faith, as well as that of the church and wider community, we recognise the challenge of ministering to the needs of eight rural parishes and will support you in achieving a good work/life balance so that your time with us will be enjoyable and rewarding for you and for us. We are open to exploring exciting possibilities for the future. The DBF is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory DBS check. The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all. Safeguarding is an integral part of the mission and ministry of the church in this diocese and is in line with our Growing in God strategy. Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
