Job description

About Guildford Cathedral

Guildford Cathedral is a sacred space and a community of people who engage with God and the wider world for the common good. We do this by being a warm-hearted community open to God, to all, to growth and to transformation. Over 100,000 visitors come to the Cathedral each year and our Cathedral ‘community’ comprises thousands who feel close to the Cathedral because of historical connection, the purchase of a brick in the 1950s, their membership of the worshipping congregations or staff and volunteers.

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. 

The Role 

The Shop Assistant will support the Shop Manager by opening the Shop on one day per week and other days by mutual agreement. The post holder works enthusiastically as part of the Cathedral’s team of staff and volunteers to help deliver our vision. Lone working is sometimes required but another Staff member (Virger) will always be on site and contactable. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Support the Shop Manager in daily operations.
  • Supervise and support volunteers.
  • Process sales, including cash and card payments.
  • Maintain shop cleanliness, tidiness, and stock presentation.
  • Assist customers and handle inquiries.
  • Manage stock, orders, and accounts with the Shop Manager.
  • Ensure effective administration of sales and inventory.
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders, including management and volunteers.

For an informal conversation about the role, please get in touch. The closing date for applications is 28 February 2025, with interviews scheduled for the week commencing 3 March 2025.

Guildford Cathedral follows a Safer Recruiting policy, and proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be required before appointment. Referees will not be contacted without your consent.
