Shortlands is a leafy, residential suburb (pop. 8,000) located between Beckenham and Bromley. It has a small number of shops, but is only a 20-minute walk from the bustling town of Bromley with its many shops and restaurants.
We are seeking a strong, prayerful and experienced parish priest who enjoys building relationships and working collaboratively within a team of committed lay people.
In particular our new Vicar will be:
• a confident, experienced and collaborative leader who commands respect, discerns people's gifts and deploys individuals to enable the church to thrive.
• committed to nurturing the diversity of Anglican worship within a central tradition.
• an effective communicator, preaching and leading worship in a way that is attractive and authentic to all age groups.
• committed to encouraging diversity, welcoming all inclusively and equally.
• able to embrace and respond sensitively and flexibly to the needs and challenges of the community.
The wider a group’s diversity, the smarter, wiser, and more compassionate and creative its decision making becomes. We are committed to achieving diversity throughout our Diocese by seeking UKME/GMH colleagues and those from a wide-range of backgrounds, to help us create a culture of inclusion and belonging.
Any queries, or to arrange an informal discussion with the Archdeacon of Bromley & Bexley about this vacancy, please contact her EA (Fiona Porter) by emailing fiona.porter@rochester.anglican.org
