St Edmund’s is set in Roundhay, a northern suburb of Leeds, only 15 minutes from the city centre. We enjoy easy access to the Yorkshire Dales and beyond.

Priest in Charge, St Aidan's, Harehills

St Aidan’s, in the heart of inner-city Harehills, Leeds, is committed to being a worshipping, serving, sacrificing community, following the example of Jesus Christ. Our rich liturgy and worship is firmly within the catholic tradition, with parish mass at the heart of our worshipping life. Our church leads and hosts a wide range of projects providing service to the whole local community, in practical expression of our commitment to social justice.

Interim Vicar of St James Silsden

St James is a large single-church small town parish with a “village” feel to the west of Keighley and Bradford. The parish population is growing through new housing developments and has recently become vacant after a faithful ministry of 13 years from the previous clergy. Important building blocks are in place in terms of engagement with the community, regular Alpha courses, a range of worship service styles, good governance structures, development of the church buildings and increasingly confident lay ministry.

Interim Community Priest for St John's Thorpe Edge (0.5)

We are looking for someone to come and help us re-imagine ministry in North East Bradford. It is an area full of opportunity with lots of new build communities alongside existing ones. St John’s sits in the heart of the community of Thorpe Edge and is deeply committed to it with its buildings hosting a day centre and community café. Both new build and social housing estates are ministry contexts common to the parishes in north-east Bradford, particularly Eccleshill and Thorpe Edge and we therefore have the opportunity to look at the current and emerging mission and ministry needs across these parishes and consider the area as a whole. Holy Trinity Idle, also in North East Bradford has been designated as a Resourcing Church, is therefore well-placed to offer support across this wider geography
