Changing Role

The Clergy Transition Service (CTS) provides free, confidential, personal support for Clergy who are at a vocational crossroad, or who are looking for a fresh opportunity.
As well as practical help with developing a personal profile, job applications, and interview skills, the service can work with individuals to develop a deeper understanding of their strengths and talents. By encouraging participants to develop greater self-awareness, reflect on personal values and think prayerfully about context and culture CTS can support the process of transition.

3D Coaching have been working with clergy changing jobs since the late 1990s. Su Blanch and Claire Pedrick are authors of ‘How to Make Great Appointments in the Church’ (SPCK). A collection of videos on the process can be viewed here.
