The parish population is growing through new housing developments and has recently become vacant after a faithful ministry of 13 years from the previous clergy.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of transformation and change leadership across a group of parishes and benefices. Skelmanthorpe is a small town near to Emley Moor in West Yorkshire. It sits between Huddersfield and Wakefield, and is within easy reach of both, as well as the cities of Leeds and Bradford and the larger towns of Dewsbury, Halifax and Barnsley. There are excellent links further afield via the M62/M1 motorways and the rail network with good train services to London, Manchester and Leeds. Leeds/Bradford Airport is around an hour away by road. Emley Moor is recognisable from a distance, thanks to the large TV transmitter tower which sits at a high point between Emley and Kirkburton.

The Benefice looks forward to welcoming a new incumbent to support and lead them in the development of their mission and walk with them on their Christian journey.
Vicar of Clayton and Interim Priest in Charge of Allerton and Fairweather Green
St John’s Clayton is a single church parish within a clearly defined large urban village in West Bradford. It has a growing population through new housing developments. St John’s has strong lay leadership and associated structures. It was designated a Resourcing Church in 2019 and is receiving Strategic Development Funding from 2019-2027 to support re-vitalisation work in west Bradford
Interim Community Priest for St John's Thorpe Edge (0.5)
We are looking for someone to come and help us re-imagine ministry in North East Bradford. It is an area full of opportunity with lots of new build communities alongside existing ones. St John’s sits in the heart of the community of Thorpe Edge and is deeply committed to it with its buildings hosting a day centre and community café. Both new build and social housing estates are ministry contexts common to the parishes in north-east Bradford, particularly Eccleshill and Thorpe Edge and we therefore have the opportunity to look at the current and emerging mission and ministry needs across these parishes and consider the area as a whole. Holy Trinity Idle, also in North East Bradford has been designated as a Resourcing Church, is therefore well-placed to offer support across this wider geography
