Associate Rector - The Benefice of All Saints & Holy Sepulchre, Northampton

This is a brand-new role that is built around a mission partnership between two town-centre churches. We want to reignite mission and ministry at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and develop the partnership with All Saints' Church.

We would like our Associate Rector to:

• Lead pastoral care, Christian initiation, discipleship, and worship across the benefice.
• Support town-centre ministry among communities facing deprivation, transition, and opportunity.
• Strengthen the churches' civic contribution to Northampton.
• Develop shared heritage, tourism, and education partnerships.
• Work with Holy Sepulchre to unleash the potential of the building.

Our Associate Rector will be:

• A priest who is looking for their next challenge within a welcoming and supportive team.
• A resilient and hopeful priest who can work with complexity, limited resources, and developing structures.
• A priest in sympathy with the Society of St Wilfrid & St Hilda, able to work across difference.
