Associate Minister, Ansty & Shilton (House for Duty basis)
St James Ansty and St Andrew’s Shilton serve two picturesque and community-focused Warwickshire villages north of Coventry, with a range of local amenities and excellent transport links to the majority of the country.
We are seeking a House for Duty priest who will enjoy focusing on the heart of parish ministry and become an integral part of life in the two villages. We wish to appoint a priest who will:
- Be a visible and known presence in the local and wider communities, within and beyond the Church
- Be able to build relationships with people of all ages and experiences
- Recognise and encourage potential in lay ministry, leading us in worship, spiritual growth, and outreach in our parishes
- Be creative, and comfortable within a range of worship styles and a broad expression of faith
- Embrace the vision of the Church communities, and build on them using their own gifts, in their own way
- Collaborate with partner Churches across Bulkington, Ansty and Shilton
The Vicar of Bulkington will become Priest-in-Charge of Ansty and Shilton, releasing our House for Duty colleague to focus on the heart of parish ministry unincumbered by some of the administration.
Informal conversations very welcome with Charles Higgins, Vicar of Bulkington on 07954 072164 vicar@stjameschurchbulkington.org.uk

Vicar, St Paul’s, Stockingford
St Paul’s Stockingford, in Nuneaton, is a diverse, loving community looking for a vicar who will lead us with enthusiasm and vision into our third century of faith and action, helping us to share our love of Jesus with our wider community.
We are praying for a vicar who will:
- continue to develop and grow a strong, diverse, lovingly inclusive worshiping community and nurture new expressions of faith.
- be caring and creative, patient and resilient in inspiring and empowering the ministry of every member of our church.
- Bring imagination and energy to explore new ways of inviting and welcoming more families, younger people and those exploring faith for the first time.
- increase our outward vision to support and serve the wider local community.
We can offer you a busy parish ripe with opportunities for growth, a supportive, active and faithful congregation willing to give their time and energy, our prayers, and whatever we can do to support you (and your family) in your role.
If you can lead with commitment and joy, without taking yourself too seriously (and with an optional enthusiasm for cake and wine), we’d love to hear from you!
