We are seeking to become the first Cathedral in England to be a resourcing and planting church in the inclusive catholic tradition, supporting new worshipping communities and churches across the Diocese of Sheffield.
This new role is for a creative, faith-filled musician who is passionate about contemporary Christian music, able to lead worship with skill and warmth, and eager to grow in strength, confidence and scope in their calling. The Music Missioner will help people encounter the Christian faith through singing, sacrament and worship, with a particular focus on developing contemporary praise and worship within a sacramental setting.

About the role
The CsP Music Missioner will help shape contemporary praise and worship within the Community of St Paulinus, especially as we seek to plant a Charismatic Catholic new worshipping community at the Cathedral and with a parish partner.
This is a role for someone who wants to:
· lead contemporary Christian music in a sacramental and Eucharistic setting
· create worship that helps people encounter God, pray deeply and grow in faith
· build confidence in congregational singing

· grow as a musician, worship leader and missioner
· take part in formation, supervision, mentoring and training, including opportunities such as the One Hope Project Academy
We are looking for someone with solid musical skill, sincere Christian faith and a heart for worship. Cathedral or church-planting experience is not essential. We are more interested in calling, potential, creativity and a desire to grow.
This is a 28 hours/week role, usually worked Sunday to Thursday, including Sundays and Tuesdays. It could suit a musician who also teaches, performs, freelances or studies, and who wants a meaningful part-time role at the heart of cathedral worship and mission.
