Diocese of Chichester


Clergy HR in the Diocese of Chichester

We support clergy in the diocese offering guidance and practical help for appointments, HR processes and individual queries. Working closely with the Bishops, Archdeacons and diocesan colleagues, we aim to ensure that clergy feel well informed, supported and resourced at every stage of their ministry.

In this section you will find advice on appointments and transitions, terms of service, housing, finance, remuneration, leave, and other policies that relate to clergy life and ministry.
