Thank you for your interest in coming to work in the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Here in Somerset, we are committed to our vision to live and tell the story of Jesus, whatever our role.
The diocese serves 940,000 people from Portishead in the north to Crewkerne in the south, Minehead in the west and Frome in the east. We have 466 parishes and 181 church schools.
Staff in the central team are based in modern offices on the edge of Wells, which is home to the diocesan Cathedral.
Inclusion and diversity
The Diocese of Bath and Wells is committed to being a truly representative and inclusive community, where everyone is respected, valued, and supported in contributing their skills, experience, and perspectives. We recognise that there is more work to do to ensure our diocese fully reflects the rich diversity of the communities we serve. We are actively learning, growing, and taking steps to address these gaps.
As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing a diverse and inclusive community, we warmly welcome and encourage applications from individuals and groups who are currently under-represented within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
You can find out more about how we are championing diversity in Bath and Wells, including the work led by the Revd Narinder Tegally, our UKME Champion.
