Interim Incumbent with potential to become permanent

All Saints Congleton - full‑time appointment


All Saints Congleton is seeking an initially interim incumbent to lead the parish through an important period of development and change. We are now entering an exciting new phase: consolidating resources, shaping a major development project, and strengthening our mission and presence across the town for which we are seeking an incumbent to lead us in this next step of our faith adventure.

The parish has four churches and has grown a shared identity under the banner of All Saints. St Stephen’s is the main centre for Sunday worship and offers great potential for expanded mission and outreach. St Peter’s, a much‑loved landmark, is the focus of a significant 10‑year development plan to enhance its use for worship and community life, supported by initial funding and a committed working group. The PCC has taken decisions to develop one of our chapels of ease, St John’s Buglawton, for additional missional and community use, and that at the second chapel of ease, Holy Trinity Mossley, worship should cease and the church be closed.


The parish are praying for a woman or man of God who will bring:


  • A deeply rooted Christian faith, shaped by Scripture and prayer, with a life guided by the Holy Spirit.

  • Proven leadership ability, able to unite people, navigate complexity, and build strong relationships within the church and wider community.

  • Experience in managing change, delivering projects to completion, and communicating with clarity, tact, and diplomacy.

  • The capacity to prioritise well, delegate effectively, and empower others to use their gifts in ministry.

  • A commitment to growing a younger church, working collaboratively with the Children & Families Missioner to strengthen mission among children, young people, and families.

  • Inspiration to all sections of our congregation to live out their faith in everyday life.

  • A demonstrable commitment to fostering a strong and effective safeguarding culture in the parish.


Accommodation is offered in a modern, spacious Rectory located in a cul-de-sac close to Holy Trinity church, the local CofE primary school and church-owned community buildings.


Congleton is a vibrant market town between Manchester and Stoke, on the edge of the Cheshire Peak District. With a population of around 28,400, it is known for its festivals, flower displays, creative community, and strong local identity. The town boasts over 150 community groups, a lively centre, a theatre, museum, leisure centre, excellent schools and a beautiful park.


The post has been designated an interim one under Section 29 of the Ecclesiastical Terms of Service Measure. In relation to Congleton, the post will initially be for three years, with the expectation it will be renewed for a further two years. At the end of the five-year period, the post will either come to an end or, if the Incumbent, Parish and Diocese are all content, and parish share is being met in full then the interim arrangement will be made permanent.


For a conversation about the post, please feel free to contact the Archdeacon of Macclesfield, The Venerable Jane Proudfoot,


We will particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups.
