The Bishop of Guildford and Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, Guildford are looking for a new colleague to join us as a Residentiary Canon to serve as Canon Missioner.
We have growing congregations who are wanting to become more missional, to engage with our wider community and who have a desire for a deepening of discipleship. This is an exciting opportunity to join the cathedral as we finalise our Vision and Strategy for 2026-2030 which has mission and education at its heart.
We are looking for an exciting colleague who will help us to draw more deeply into the life of being a disciple and enabling others to join us too.
We offer a great team, in a beautiful cathedral, close proximity to London and a desire to grow.
And if you would like to have an informal conversation, please contact The Dean of Guildford at
Interviews will be held on 29 and 30 April 2026.
As a diocese we believe that diversity is a strength. We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who are female, younger, identify themselves as a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it's essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
