Candidate Information

Formal applications for the position of Vicar of Saint Peter's Caversham are now invited. Potential candidates should contact the Parish Nominators by emailing The Bishop's Warden .

If you think you may like to be Our New Vicar, these pages are specially for you.

You will get a good idea of our parish life and habits from the main pages of this site, but there are things you - and your family! - will want to know before you decide you'd like to take us on. We hope you'll find useful things here. For a start, we have pages on:

  • The Church - is the building sound? Is there a decent organ? Does it offer the style and reverence you'd expect of a traditional Anglo-Catholic church?
  • The Grounds - are there any? Is it good for gardeners? Can children be safe?
  • The Vicarage - how big is it? Can a family live here without interfering with The Vicar's business life? - Will all members of the family be happy here?

Various documents have been prepared as part of a "presentation package" which will be supplied by The Diocese to interested candidates. You can access much of the material here:

We intend to add to these pages as ideas occur to us and in response to suggestions we receive. If you have an idea you think we should include, drop us a line. We will do our best to accomodate you.

If you would like to make initial contact before submitting a formal application, you are welcome to email our Vicar's Warden. Contacts will be held in strict confidence.
