Vacancies at CPAS patronage churches and beyond where we'd love to see Jesus-centred, mission-focused leaders appointed. We also offer resources and events for clergy moving roles.

Are you seeking a new post? Join us for our Moving On forum session on 16 October 2025 where our Patronage Team will offer clergy insights into the sometimes tricky subject of moving jobs.
