Diocese of Bath and Wells

House for Duty, Local Minister of Christ Church, Redhill & Associate Priest of Wrington with Redhill & Langford, Burrington & Butcombe

Would you like to work in a rural benefice but be centred in just one small church?  Would you enjoy ministering with a hard-working group of volunteers and supportive incumbent? Would you enjoy having the delights of Bristol and the Mendips – and even an international airport – on your doorstep?  Then this is the opportunity!

We are seeking someone who:

  • thrives in rural ministry and enjoys the challenge of leading just one church
  • likes to be visible, active and known in the community
  • enjoys working collaboratively with others

Someone who:

  • is keen to work with young families who are actively exploring their faith
  • would enjoy worshipping in, and working alongside, a small congregation
  • enjoys teaching in small groups
  • has a proven ability to work with the wider community

We can offer you:

  • the enthusiastic support of a small, committed team of volunteers based in Redhill
  • the support of an experienced incumbent, four licensed Readers and a Benefice Administrator
  • the freedom to use your God-given skills across the wider Wrington benefice (5 churches in total)
  • a modern 4 bedroomed house just off the A38 (or accommodation allowance if you prefer)
  • proximity to the Mendip hills, the North Somerset coast and the cultural centres of Bath and Bristol.  For further travel, it’s just 5 minutes to Bristol International Airport or 2 hours by train to London

Applications to be received by Sunday 9 August 2026

Interviews:  Thursday 3 September 2026
