**Benefice of Workington**

**Full-time Rector**

The united benefice comprises the parishes of St Michael and John which between them cover the important market town of Workington. The worship is liberal Catholic in expression. The social life and fellowship is strong and vibrant where the nurture of children and young people is a priority. The parishes have a shared strategy to grow closer to God, grow greener, grow younger, and grow outwards into the town.

We are seeking a woman or man who is:
Grounded and nurtured by the liberal Anglo-Catholic traditions of worship, prayer and liturgy;
Prayerful and empathetic;
A collaborative, energetic and empowering leader

Committed to mission and civic engagement and partnership;
Enthusiastic about preaching and deepening the faith of others, whatever age;
Gifted with a heart for young people;
Pastoral and approachable;
Committed to warm, ecumenical relationships;
Blessed with a sense of humour.

This is an incumbent’s post with a stipend of £30,912
