Vicar: United Benefice of Wawne and Sutton Park Hull

2 months ago

Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom The Church of England Full time

Our two churches are committed to our communities and to making God's love known to them. Our communities have a wonderful variety to them - long established residents, extensive new housing, a significantly deprived council estate plus a small village whose church family have a vision for changing their building to enable much greater midweek use. There are great opportunities here and so much that God can do amongst us and our communities.

We work well together and enjoy being part of the benefice. We have begun to engage with families and long for this ministry to be deepened. We recognise the need to be led into new ways and are looking to our new vicar to do this.

Further details can be found in our Parish Profile and Role Description.

Main Responsibilities

  1. To lead the churches forward in mission in their particular communities
  2. To bring care for the congregation with empathy and a commitment to deepen their discipleship
  3. To identify how best to deepen the ministry on Kingswood
  4. To make a proposal for the appointment of an Associate Vicar and the shape of the role
  5. To value work in schools and with families, prioritising this in your ministry and the life of the churches.
  6. To offer leadership to St Peter's as they consider the development of their church building
  7. To further the opportunities for collaboration and shared ministry across the benefice
  8. To actively participate in the life of Hull Deanery


We are looking for a Vicar who will

  • Empower us - sharing their passionate and lively faith
  • Thrive on the variety of our context.
  • Focus on reaching families and younger adults, valuing our links with schools.
  • Minister with empathy, bringing pastoral awareness and insights
  • Share the faith, based on scripture, in teaching, word and action.


Our mission and ministry relies on thousands of people - lay and ordained, volunteer and paid. Our diocesan teams provide a wide range of support services to our mission and ministry, including lifelong learning for ministry, the care of church buildings, and safeguarding. Together, we are striving to be a people who are ‘Living Christ’s Story’. We want to be a simpler, bolder, humbler church which in its diversity reflects the communities it serves. We are bringing renewed focus and fresh energy to achieving our aims:

  • Becoming more like Christ
  • Reaching those we currently don't
  • Growing in discipleship, influence and numbers
  • Transforming our finances and structures

Our approach is aligned with a commitment to the best of our parochial inheritance, to the poorest communities, and to the financial realities we face.

Under current immigration rules, it is not generally possible for us to appoint clergy who are not already eligible to work in the UK.

Appointment is subject to a satisfactory Enhanced DBS disclosure

Informal enquiries are welcome, please contact:

Closing Date: Wednesday 7 August

Interviews: Wednesday 4 September
