How can you help grow the Kingdom of God in Llandaff?

Llandaff is one of six dioceses in the Church in Wales and covers much of South Wales.

The diocese is the most densely populated part of Wales and is hugely diverse, from the urban capital of Cardiff to post-industrial Valleys and the semi-rural Vale of Glamorgan.

Our vision is that all may encounter and know the love of God through truth, beauty and service, living full and rich lives through faith and committed discipleship.

We have both LAY VACANCIES and CLERGY VACANCIES

LAY VACANCIES

Lay simply means someone who isn’t ordained. If you’re not a priest, deacon, or bishop, you’re 'lay.' It comes from a Greek word meaning 'the people'.

CLERGY VACANCIES

Vicar in West Cardiff Minstry Area

The Bishop of Llandaff is looking to appoint a Priest to be part of a team of stipendiary and self-supporting clergy serving a diverse range of communities, on the edge of the Welsh Capital.

Running from the cosmopolitan areas of Canton, to the very edges of the city boundaries in Ely, this Ministry Area includes some of the wealthiest and poorest communities in Wales.

However, for the Church in this part of the Diocese, this cultural and social diversity is not a challenge to face, but a blessing to celebrate in a common, shared Christian life.

We are looking for a priest who has energy and enthusiasm, who loves God, loves people and loves ministry; a priest who wants to be part of a team, in a mutual relationship of giving and receiving; a priest who will enjoy working across the Ministry Area but who will also have particular responsibility for the Church of the Resurrection, in Ely, Cardiff.

For an informal chat about this role, please contact The Venerable Mark Preece, Archdeacon of Margam Archdeacon.margam@churchinwales.org.uk 07989 587 529

Closing date: 2nd October 2026
Interviews to be held: 23rd October 2026
