RECTOR

(full-time)

St James the Less is a welcoming congregation based in Bishopbriggs, seeking a qualified Anglican Priest to lead us and bring a fresh outlook on our journey of faith and community involvement. They should have a strong pastoral basis and seek an active presence in the wider local faith community. The Vestry and congregation are supportive and actively participate in our worship.

Bishopbriggs has a busy “village” centre with shops, cafes, excellent schools, and transport links into the city and to the nearby countryside. There is a three-bedroom rectory immediately behind the church, with off-street parking.
