Hereford Cathedral

Who we are

Why work at Hereford Cathedral?

With its stunning architecture, its heritage and cultural assets, and its world-class music, Hereford Cathedral is an unbeatable place to work. A small and friendly team of staff is working hard to modernise and grow the business within this significant centre of heritage and worship, and is keen to provide opportunities for staff and volunteers focused on making its attractions available to new and wider audiences. Increasing digital engagement and exciting new activities in the recently restored College of the Vicars Choral promise significant changes in how the Cathedral presents itself the outside world. Whatever your skills, you can be assured of the support of the whole Cathedral in joining and helping with its business, its worship and its entertainment!

Our Vision Statement

Our vision is to create sacred space at the heart of the diocese in which worship is offered and the holiness of God is encountered in an open and inclusive way; common ground where issues shared by the whole of humanity can be explored in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Inspired by the Gospel, we work to build a welcoming, inclusive and engaging environment which, through the delivery of a diverse and inspiring programme of worship, events, educational activities and community outreach, fulfils and spiritually enriches all who experience our cathedral.

Our culture and values

Our priority is that everyone who comes into contact with the Cathedral and its people will feel welcomed, valued, and cared for — so that they may catch a glimpse of God’s love for them personally.

We strive to achieve this by:

•   Empowering great staff and volunteers to be the best they can be

•   Embodying our shared values of love, grace, integrity and service

•   Offering warm, inclusive hospitality to all
