Job Description:

Community Priest, Cambridge East

Could you help shape the spiritual life of a brand-new Cambridge community?

The Diocese of Ely is seeking a full-time, incumbent-level priest to pioneer Christian community in Cambridge East, the nationally significant new development emerging from the former Cambridge City Airport.

Working from the new Temporary Community Centre, you will:

  • pioneer new forms of church, worship and community;
  • live incarnationally within a rapidly developing neighbourhood;
  • build relationships with residents, developers and community partners;
  • work alongside St Andrew’s Cherry Hinton and All Saints, Teversham, rooted in the sacramental life of the parish;
  • help shape the Diocese’s wider approach to mission and community development across Cambridge East.

You will be part of a supportive parish team – a pioneer, but not a lone ranger.

The post comes with a three-bedroom house plus study, within walking distance of the development, with funding to rent or purchase a home within Cambridge East in due course.

A rare opportunity to help shape a new community from the beginning – and to discover what church might become in a new place.

Come and help shape Cambridge East.
