We do this by:
- Connecting people affected by cancer through our community and shared lived experiences.

We're looking for two Events & Marketing Assistants to join our small, busy team at Portsmouth Cathedral.

Portsmouth Cathedral has been at the heart of Old Portsmouth since 1180, and it remains one of the city's most distinctive and active spaces - a working place of worship, a heritage venue, and a hub for concerts, community events, and private hire all at once. If you're someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys variety, and likes the idea of working somewhere genuinely unlike any other, this could be exactly the right role for you.
