The Diocese of Ipswich and St Edmundsbury’s Mission and Ministry Team seeks to support the making of new disciples of all ages in both parish churches and fresh expressions of church. As part of our Growing in God (our Diocesan Vision to grow in Number, Depth, Influence and Younger), the Mission team is seeking to appoint either one full-time Archdeaconry Mission Enabler (or two part-time Enablers) to work alongside the Diocesan Mission Enabler to achieve the objectives of this vision and strategy. This will be achieved through the further development and embedding of Missional DNA across the diocese, to ensure an outward facing culture of mission, evangelism and service.
Each Archdeaconry Mission Enabler will take the overall lead in supporting parishes in one or more of our three archdeaconries, but will also be required to work flexibly across the diocese as part of the Mission and Ministry Team according to need, workload, and the skills and experience they bring.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As the postholder(s) will often be engaging with incumbents, the successful candidate(s) will be ordained with at least five years’ experience at incumbent level, in order that they have the skills, experience and credibility needed to build relationships of trust with ministry leaders in the diocese. A key aspect of the role will be to proactively encourage and support incumbents and their Benefice Ministry Teams and PCCs to develop and implement Benefice Plans for Growth on a three-yearly cycle to encourage growth in depth, influence, number and younger as determined by prayerful discernment in the Benefice.
The DBF is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to acceptable pre-appointment checks, including a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check.
