The Deanery of Kerrier is nestled in the far west of the Diocese of Truro. The largely rural area is dotted with towns, villages and hamlets looking out onto a dramatic and beautiful coastline.

The deanery has taken a dynamic, fresh approach to ministry in today’s context seeking to build on existing teams and pioneer new expressions of faith within communities. They have already laid many of the foundations of this approach and are now looking for an Interim Pastoral Priest to join them on this journey.

This role is initially for three years pending pastoral reorganisation but with the hope it will continue thereafter.

Do you have a heart for people and a commitment to pastoral care?
Are you a prayerful leader who thrives on working as part of a team?
Can you connect with people and meet them where they are?
