Clergy HR

These pages provide advice and guidance for clergy on ministry and information about the support and services available. Use the quick search below to find specific topics. The information is live and any significant changes will be communicated in the diocesan eNews. If you are new to the Diocese, you may want to read the Welcome Booklet.

If you have any questions on diocesan policies, practices and procedures, please raise them in the first instance with the area dean, associate/archdeacon. We hope you will enjoy your ministry in the Diocese of Oxford. The staff, bishops and archdeacons are here to support you and are happy to answer any questions.
