Team Vicar

Are you inspired by the unique challenges and opportunities of rural ministry?

The Dorchester Team is entering a season of renewal and is looking for a new priest to join us as we prayerfully and creatively reimagine our future—both as individual churches and as a team.

We’re praying for a colleague who:

• Brings a vibrant, prayerful faith and a deep love for God and people.
• Leads with grace and effectiveness, engaging confidently in both church and community.
• Thrives in collaborative ministry—whether leading or supporting others.
• Has a heart for mission and the Kingdom, sharing the good news of Jesus, nurturing both existing congregations and new outreach opportunities.
• Is comfortable and confident working across a variety of church traditions and local contexts.

What we offer:

• A dynamic, supportive ministry team.
• Warm, welcoming congregations eager for growth and care.
• Opportunities to serve in local schools and community settings.
• A beautifully located, newly refurbished vicarage.
• Excellent administrative support from our base at Dorchester Abbey.
