Current vacancies in the Diocese of Llandaff:

• Transition Ministers
• Vicar/Ministry Area Leader in Bro Noddfa Newydd Ministry Area
• Vicar in Afon Nedd Ministry Area
• Ministry Area Book Keeper - Penybont ar Ogwr Ministry Area

Transition ministry is a form of intentional interim ministry that is about more than maintaining existing ministry in its current form. A transition minister is a change agent who facilitates meaningful and sustainable transformation in congregations so that the ministry area is healthy and ready for the appointment process to begin.

Each transition minister should expect to be deployed across the diocese for a period of between 18 months to 3 years before moving to a new context. Housing will be provided in a central location for ease of access.

A transition minister would be expected to:

• Strengthen the pastoral care of the communities without a leader.
• Manage any existing conflict and facilitate reconciliation.
• Consolidate and organise ministries and facilities.
• Develop strong administrative and financial functions.
• Prepare and nurture lay leaders, readying them for the arrival of a new priest.
• Support the Ministry Area Council as it begins the recruitment process.
• Sustain existing ministry and mission.

We are therefore looking for priests who are:

• Self starters
• Bridge Builders
• Gentle pastors
• Vision facilitators
• Organisational architects
• Skilled listeners
• Change enablers
• Project Managers
• Godly characters
