- can build fruitful relationships with a range of stakeholders including schools, the local council, ecumenical partners and other organisations to see God’s Kingdom come in an area where there is much need;
- can seek out and engage creatively with opportunities to show Christ’s love in different contexts, including significant areas of new housing;
- will work collaboratively with the existing Team Vicar, Wardens and PCC resourcing the whole people of God for mission and ministry;
- is at ease with a down-to-earth north midlands community, especially with new families whom we would like to welcome into the church;
- will bring a calm good humour to share the joys and sorrows of ordinary people.
