The Parish of Corfe Mullen is a two-church parish on the outskirts of Poole in Dorset. We are looking to employ a part time Worship Team Leader on a two year contract.

St Nicholas in Corfe Mullen has been on an exciting journey over the past few years. We have moved from a traditional weekly service to one that embraces a broader style of worship. We have an All Age and an informal service once a month and two communion services. Our worship style is currently a blend of traditional hymns and modern worship songs. The church building is large, modern, well equipped and regularly used by local orchestras and choirs because of its great acoustics.
