The Parish of Ramsey and the North- East, in the Isle of Man seeks to appoint a new Rector.. The Parish is blessed with five parish churches serving a diverse community, ranging from small villages to the Island’s second largest town. The Parish would welcome a person of prayer and discernment, who is also able to demonstrate:

- experience and ability to help us renew and develop our vision and grow our congregations, leading us well through the changes ahead.
- ability to help us share our faith and deepen our care for our communities – especially with young people and families
- a collaborative approach to ministry, which empowers others to lead.
- an ability to reveal the Gospel in a credible and engaging manner, to people of varying backgrounds and traditions.
- a naturally pastoral disposition, able to engage both with Christian and non-Christian people. Keen to work with other denominations and traditions, as well as with local authorities and community groups.
In return we can offer
- congregations who are looking forward to welcoming a new Rector;
- a Ministry Team which is growing in strength and ready to share the load.
- mutual friendship, support and a helping hand in settling into our parish life;
