The Clergy Transitions Service - supporting you with your next steps in ministry.
“The Clergy Transitions Service (CTS) made a difference, just to have the external support in the complicated process of finding my first incumbency. The CTS were available to advise and support when I needed them. It was such a help to talk over how interviews feel. They helped me put down my preconceptions and be far more relaxed on the interview day. I heartily recommend them."
Rev Anne Curtis, Priest in Charge of the Benefice of The Guitings, Cutsdean, Farmcote, Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter with Eyford and Naunton“I am so grateful that this service has been relaunched. I benefited from the highly-personal and warm approach from the team. I was delighted to be given lots of space to ask questions and receive advice, and I believe it was a significant part of the process in securing the right next role for me."
