We are seeking a Lay Vicar who will sing at the many choral services that are offered each year. These include Evensong six days per week during term time, a full schedule of Sunday services, and a variety of special services, broadcasts and public performances through the year. Further details are in the job description below.
As a relatively small choir and Cathedral, there is a strong sense of belonging, with an ethos of mutual care and respect between choir, clergy, Cathedral staff and congregation and your talents will have real impact.
