Portsmouth Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Sea, becomes a registered charity in March 2024 under the Cathedrals Measure 2021. The Measure brings cathedrals under Charity Commission regulation and strengthens governance and operational frameworks. One of the aims is that the membership of Chapter, the Trustee body, should bring together individuals with a broad range of skills, knowledge, expertise, and experience to bring in best practice of strategic leadership for the Cathedral and lead it in being transparent and accountable.
We are looking to recruit members to the new Nominations Committee, which is chaired by Sir David Normington, and will advise on the recruitment of non-executive members of the new Chapter along with other Chapter Committees.
We are particularly looking for people who are:
- interested in, and supportive of, the work of the Cathedral; are collaborative and team oriented;
- have experience of serving on a committee or board in their working lives or as a volunteer; and have
- practical experience of recruitment in the public, private or charitable sectors.
You do not need to be a communicant member of the Church of England to be on the Committee. Interest, commitment and sympathy with the Cathedral’s mission are the most important attributes; and there is scope to grow and learn in the role.
We are committed to growing in diversity and inclusion and seek to reflect this in Chapter. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
The committee will meet two or three times a year and that members will serve a three year term of office. Could one of these members be you?
