We would love to hear from you

Looking for your next vicar?

Managing a process which includes discernment and selection can be a challenge.  A good challenge. You are looking for the candidate who is called, competent enough and has the right chemistry to work with colleagues.

By the end of our ‘Making Good Appointments’ training you will : 

  • Have a better understand what makes a good process – for the panel and the candidates
  • Be asking simple and incisive questions which will give you useful information that connect with the person profile
  • Know how to write the kind of report which will feed back into your organisation’s process where that is needed
  • Be more confident about giving feedback

We have many years’ experience as selection interviewers and trainers in church organisations .  We have worked with the Church of England, the Methodist Church – World Church Office and Ministry Office, and  USPG.

I enjoyed reading How To Make Great Appointments in the Church. It’s a very practical and focused book…. ‘Calling, competence and chemistry’ …struck me as a very helpful summary of what matters in such an appointment. One of the most useful parts for me was the section with practical ideas for dealing positively with  enquiries and lobbying. The chapter on prayer was both unexpected and excellent. Quite a bit of the content as the book progressed seemed especially relevant in an Anglican context, but I got plenty of good insights from it”
