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.
