The Role
This is an exciting time to join a small, dedicated team as it looks to the future with ambition and purpose. Every member of the team plays a vital role in preserving this extraordinary heritage while helping the Cathedral to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

You will also be joining an enthusiastic management team who work together to ensure that the Cathedral’s operations are as effective as they can be.
Whether it’s managing conservation projects, developing new ways to use spaces, or delivering environmental improvements, this role offers a unique chance to shape the future of an exceptional and much-loved place.
