We are looking for a Vicar who will be a good pastor to our churches, and who will nurture and develop the spiritual gifts within our congregations. Can you help us to reach out in new and relevant ways to our village communities in service, neighbourly care and witness? Can you lead us in inspiring and thoughtful worship, and deepen our discipleship?
THE BENEFICE OF HEADCORN AND THE SUTTONS
We are a group of four villages in the beautiful Weald of Kent. The Benefice was formed in 2007. We have grown closer together over the years through co-operation and friendship.
MINISTRY SUPPORT
There is a good group of active retired clergy in the Deanery, who are very willing to lead worship in our Benefice when asked. There is also a Lay Ministry Group, all eight of whom are involved with non-eucharistic worship leading. We have one member of our congregation in his first year of training as a Licensed Lay Minister.
BENEFICE SERVICES
Every fifth Sunday we come together for a Benefice Service at one of our churches in rotation.
CHURCHWARDENS
The six churchwardens are in frequent touch with each other and have regular meetings to discuss Benefice matters.
Closing Date
31st January 2026
Interviews: 24th March 2026
