Vicar (House for Duty) of St Mary the Virgin South Benfleet

Closing date: 19 May 2025
Contact: Linda Thornton PA to the Archdeacon of Southend
Location: Bradwell Episcopal Area

St Mary’s is a beautiful Grade 1 Listed Church, which has been a faithful Christian presence since Anglo-Saxon times. It is situated in the South Benfleet conservation area, and has excellent train and road links towards London and the Essex Coast.

Do you feel called to:

  • help to nurture our congregation in the Anglo Catholic tradition
  • give us fresh insight and materials to help guide the study of Scripture
  • help us give pastoral care and support to those seeking advice and counselling within the parish
  • help us build upon the relationships we have with local schools through events, fellowship and friendship

We would love our new priest to lead our worship in a clear direction, to spread the word of our Lord to the new generation, encouraging the wider community to worship at St Mary’s.

St Mary’s has passed a Resolution under the House of Bishops’ Declaration.

Closing date: 19th May 2025
