We are looking for an ordained colleague to serve as part of our parish staff team.
What does ministry look like in Holywood Parish?
Holywood Parish is a vibrant, multi-generational church with a rich heritage.
It seeks to serve Christ and share his good news in worship, engagement, pastoral care and everyday community presence.
This role may suit someone at the beginning of their ordained ministry.
Holywood Parish is a great training ground for clergy- but this position may also appeal to someone who has been ordained for some time and would like to work as part of a team.
This is not a ‘job’ so the process of appointment with the usual terms and conditions, contracts etc., it is with the agreement of the incumbent and the diocesan bishop.
This is an invitation to find out more and explore this role with the vicar, Gareth Harron.
The closing date for this initial phase is Monday 20th of October 2025
Stipend, Housing etc. in line with Church of Ireland guidelines.
