FULL-TIME STIPENDIARY CHAPLAIN - Holy Trinity Church, Geneva, Switzerland
The bishop seeks to appoint an experienced priest to serve a vibrant, diverse, international community in the centre of one of the most multicultural cities in Europe.
Holy Trinity Geneva in the Diocese in Europe (Church of England), which represents a long history of serving the English language community in Geneva, seeks a full-time stipendiary priest, offering an attractive package including accommodation. At a time of change and uncertainty facing international organisations in the city, the role offers the opportunity to maintain and further develop a hospitable, welcoming, multicultural community of all ages through building on the gifts of: the rich liturgical and musical tradition of the church; a flourishing family, children’s and youth ministry; the wealth of skills and cultural backgrounds of members of the community; growing ecumenical and community links.
The ideal candidate will be grounded in the liturgical, musical and sacramental Anglican tradition, with the sensitivity and skill to discern and incorporate the evolving needs of the congregation, including young people; the ability to enable people to grow spiritually and as leaders, delegating effectively; experience and empathy with children and young people; a willingness to serve and engage with the community outside.
A visa is required for non-Swiss or non-EU nationals, requiring proficiency in both oral and written French language skills.
