St Mary’s is the civic church of Nottingham. It is a church with an open mind that is keen to explore and embrace new ways of enabling people to encounter the love of God and create accessible steps for responding.

Closing date 3 September 2023 / Interviews 4/5 October 2023

We are seeking to appoint a Vicar to St Mary’s who will lead this cathedral-like, city-centre church into a new season of significant spiritual and numerical growth, building on the foundations already laid. The successful applicant will have exceptional relational and teaching gifts to strengthen and equip the current worshipping community. Our new vicar will inspire us to connect with those across Nottingham City centre and beyond who would welcome the opportunity to worship and serve in an Anglican church community founded on traditional liturgy, excellence in music and inspiring teaching.

We can offer a modern four-bedroom vicarage in a quiet residential area near the centre of Nottingham, with good local schools, hospitals, shops, recreational facilities and the amenities of a large city centre.
