IME Phase 2 Officer
Truro/homeworking with travel across Cornwall
We are looking for an experienced, pastoral and organised professional to lead our Initial Ministerial Education (IME) for Curates.
IME is a programme of ongoing training, development and support for our curates. The role is responsible for the delivery of residential events and study days throughout the year; monitoring the progress of curates including reviewing portfolios and reporting on their progress; providing support, encouragement and challenge to the curates; and ensuring that the programme is effectively and efficiently administered.
The right person for this role will be an organised people person who is a skilled and engaging teacher. It is essential to have at least 3 years’ experience of parish ministry post curacy, knowledge of ministerial formation and a qualification to teach theological subjects. Pastoral/counselling skills, facilitation and excellent general communication skills are also required.
There is an occupational requirement to be a practising Christian for this role. In fact, it requires an experienced ordained priest in the Church of England and must have a commitment to personal discipleship and a willingness to share spiritual insights with others.
This is an interesting and unusual opportunity to play a key role in the development of our curates and gives scope to use skills, experiences and knowledge to have significant impact.

We offer benefits to such as a range of wellbeing activities, flexible working, up to 26 days leave and a Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contribution.
