Malmesbury Abbey is a place where ancient Benedictine heritage meets a lively, outward‑facing ministry. Set in a thriving Cotswold market town and welcoming over 60,000 visitors a year, the Abbey sits at the heart of a benefice that includes the rural churches of Brokenborough, Corston and Rodbourne. 

With the forthcoming retirement of the Revd Oliver Ross, we are seeking a priest who can offer steady, collaborative leadership through a pivotal transition. This is a unique opportunity to guide a significant church and its neighbouring parishes as they discern vision, deepen discipleship and prepare for their next incumbent. 

We’re looking for a priest who:

• Leads with warmth and clarity
• Nurtures teams and releases gifts in others
• Preaches and leads worship across a range of styles
• Holds governance, safeguarding and mission together with grace
• 
  

We offer:

• A remarkable Abbey with national profile
• Strong lay leadership and supportive clergy colleagues
• A benefice ready for renewed confidence and outward‑looking mission
• Full diocesan support, coaching and wellbeing provision

If you sense a call to guide a hopeful, committed community through a season of change, we would love to hear from you.
