The Holy Trinity Benefice is a warm, diverse and welcoming community about four miles east of Birmingham’s city centre. The Bishop of Birmingham and the Aston Patronage Trust are seeking a faithful, compassionate and empathetic priest to be our next incumbent. Our three churches are firmly established at the heart of each community they serve and are deeply committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus in the midst of a multi-lingual, multi-faith and multi-cultural ‘presence and engagement’ setting.

The ideal candidate will be:

• An inspiring collaborative leader who has good communication and people skills and can nourish and manage a variety of teams and projects
• Organised, focused, and hospitable to those within and beyond existing congregations and networks and engage well with the challenges and joys of being church in a diverse area
• Able to see the missional potential of working within largely Muslim neighbourhoods whilst supporting the missional endeavours and aspirations of the existing worshipping communities
• A person of deep faith who can bring joy, prayer, and a dependency on the Holy Spirit to a unified and diverse community of disciples who long to know Jesus more and shape their lives on him
