All appointments also require satisfactory references.

Applicants do not need to be practising Christians, but if appointed, you would be expected to uphold our Christian principles of trust, forgiveness, compassion, thankfulness, friendship and love, as well as our vision: ‘Through God's love, we are the rich soil where seeds flourish and roots grow’. In line with this vision, we are committed to developing you in the role, both in the short term through a supportive induction programme, and in the long term.
