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.

We are now seeking an Events Virger to join our team and play a vital role in supporting the Cathedral’s worship and events programme.

  • To be on duty, in accordance with the rota, on Sundays, Festival Days and other occasions, in addition to other routine duties.
  • Maintain vestments, altar furnishings and vessels and prepare them for all Services.
  • Operating sound and lighting systems as needed.
  • Support and assist Chaplains, Guides and other volunteers as required.
  • Safeguarding donations and collections.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who brings:

  • GCSE-level education and previous experience as a Virger.
  • A sense of the value of well-ordered worship and its contribution to the Cathedral’s wider ministry and outreach.
  • Strong communications interpersonal skills.
  • IT competence and administrative skills.
  • Flexibility, reliability, and the ability to work independently and under pressure.
  • Physical fitness to handle lifting and moving tasks.
  • A team player, holding the personal qualities necessary to work well with the other members of the Cathedral team, both paid and volunteer.
  • A communicant member of the Church of England.
  • Willingness to undertake training, including First Aid at Work.

Desirable:​
