Team Vicar Vacancy
This page will be used during the vacancy to keep you up to date on the process of finding Tony’s successor as Team Vicar, so do bookmark it and pop back often.
Warden’s update end October 2010:
Over the next few months we hope to explain the procedure in Church News articles, as we gain further understanding. There have been two changes since Tony was appointed, which make a significant difference to the process.

1.
|
Because the 2001 reorganisation of the deanery made us part of the Chipping Norton Benefice, the replacement will be selected to fill a post in the Benefice Clergy Team and all four PCCs in the Benefice will have equal parts to play in the selection process. The Team Vicar, as the post is called, has special responsibility for Kingham & Churchill but will not be exclusively employed in these two parishes, spending perhaps half the working week on Benefice-

New employment legislation means that the new Team Vicar will have to be selected by open competition following advertisement & interview by a large panel and be given a full employment contract specifying the detailed requirements of the post.

Note that formal selection procedures can only begin when Tony is licensed to his new post in January. The PCCs of all the parishes in the benefice will be discussing & preparing the Job Description, Person Specification and Employment Conditions ahead of time. Please let your PCC know what qualities you would like in a new vicar and remember the members in your prayers as they work through this process.
