Job description

Guildford Cathedral is a sacred space and a community of people who engage with God and the wider world for the common good. Welcoming over 100,000 visitors annually, our Cathedral ‘community’ comprises thousands who feel close the Cathedral because of historical connection, through worship or our volunteer service. The core task of Guildford Cathedral is worship. Daily and Sunday choral services are the backbone of our work. The Cathedral is led by the Dean with the Cathedral Chapter which is akin to a Board of Directors and charity trustees.

  • Maintain vestments, altar furnishings and vessels and prepare them for all Services.

  • Safeguarding donations and collections.
