The Parish of St George’s Barkingside - Priest in Charge

Closing date:	02 February 2026
Contact:	The Archdeacon of West Ham
Website:	https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/6160/
Location:	Gants Hill/Barkingside

St George’s has a faithful but very small congregation who need a mission-minded priest who will lead them to re-engage with the local community. St George’s will become part of the “Minster” MMU of All Saints’ Woodford Wells and work closely with the incumbent of All Saints’, Paul Harcourt. The churchmanship of the Minster team is charismatic evangelical. The tradition of the parish has been centred on a Sunday Eucharist. You would need to be comfortable leading in both settings.

We are looking for:

Someone who is passionate about mission and evangelism
Someone whose faith will inspire and challenge us
Someone to build and nurture bridges with the wider community
Someone with strong and sensitive pastoral gifts
Someone who thrives on working collaboratively and can lead change with grace

For more information about working as part of the All Saints’ Team, please contact Rev. Paul Harcourt on 020 8504 0266 or email paul@asww.org.uk
