We wish to appoint a House for Duty Rector to the Ducklington with Hardwick benefice. We are an active single parish benefice situated in a semi-rural village, one mile south of Witney on the edge of the Cotswolds. We have good transport links to Oxford, 10 miles to the east.

We seek a House for Duty Rector for two days plus Sundays each week who is:

• Kind, compassionate, a good listener and a spiritual guide.
• Comfortable leading both traditional and contemporary styles of worship.
• Motivated to help the congregation and community deepen their faith.
• Willing to support and inspire us to attract families through interaction with the school and community, and to maintain our strong links with the village Primary School.
• Able to focus on growing and developing a single benefice church with the support of a committed team of volunteers and LLMs.
• Sympathetic to village life and the role of the church within it.

We can offer:

• A very warm welcome and the hand of friendship.
• A five-bedroom Rectory within walking distance of the church.
• A committed and supportive lay team.

For an informal discussion, please contact the Archdeacon of Dorchester on 01865 208245 or email her at archdeacon.dorchester@oxford.anglican.org.
