This role offers a unique opportunity to work in partnership with a young rector (ordained Anglican from an FIEC background), working together to reach the women and men, girls and boys of the NSW South Coast with the good news of Jesus.

Our churches gather three times on a Sunday: We have a 9am all-ages service in Ulladulla, a more traditional service at 11am in Milton, and a small 4pm afternoon gathering in Ulladulla.

Our congregations reflect our wider community, including the very oldest and youngest; long-time locals as well as people who are brand-new to Australia.

We also minister in partnership with a number of experienced retired Anglican ministers, who greatly bless us with their ability to preach and serve in a number of ways.

We are looking for a 'finisher' - someone who not only starts projects with enthusiasm but sees them
through to completion with an eye for detail and reliability.

**Compensation**: Stipend/salary will be according to Sydney Diocesan recommendations based on qualifications and experience. Housing or housing allowance will be provided.
