Succentor

Christ Church Cathedral seeks to appoint a Succentor for a fixed period of three years beginning in October 2025 or as soon thereafter as possible. The Succentor is responsible to the Dean and Chapter, through the Sub Dean, for the detail of the Cathedral’s liturgical life, ensuring that our worship strives for excellence and is characterised by dignity and warmth.
The post offers a prime opportunity for a priest with liturgical and musical interests to gain experience in Cathedral ministry.

Applicants should have a sound liturgical knowledge and enjoy the challenge of working with a diverse team, both within the Cathedral (clergy, staff and volunteers) and in the wider diocese, city and county, and including those from a variety of backgrounds. Applicants should be good communicators, committed to equality and diversity, comfortable with both Common Worship and the Book of Common Prayer and able to draft services for the needs of a wide range of congregations. They should be confident singers, capable of and comfortable with singing Choral Evensong on a daily basis and singing the Eucharistic Preface.
