Parish Vacancies
The Parish of Staveley and Barrow Hill is situated on the outskirts of Chesterfield, with a medieval Parish church in Staveley town and a daughter church in the village of Inkersall. Staveley is approximately half an hour from the Peak District National Park and is ideally situated for exploring neighbouring towns and cities. Proximity to the M1 and A1 affords good communication.
Since 1973 the Parish has been constituted as a Team Ministry now resourced by a Team Rector and Team Vicar.
We are a Benefice of two Derbyshire village churches with vibrant and growing communities.
We are excited to welcome you to lead, strengthen and develop our vision of mission and help us to grow and explore ways to deepen our faith and explore worship.
The Benefice is located in the rural west of the East Derbyshire Archdeaconry on the edge of the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District. Crich Stand dominates the skyline and beneath are the towers of St Mary’s and nearby All Saints, visible symbols of the light and life we enjoy experiencing with our communities.
We can offer you:
- Committed and gifted volunteers, lay leaders and PTO colleagues
- Sensitivity to the fact that this is a part-time post and concern for the well-being of a priest-in-charge
- Established relationships with three church primary schools and other local denominations
- Congregations who want to share God's love in their communities, many of whom are actively involved in community groups and activities
This post comes with a 4-bedroomed vicarage in Crich, with garage and private garden.
