The Bishop of St Albans is seeking to appoint a Canon Chancellor with special responsibility for learning, welcome, and pilgrimage at St Albans Cathedral. Could this be you?
As one of two full-time Commissioners Canons, and a member of Chapter and the Senior Management team, this is an exciting opportunity to share ministry and leadership at the home of Britain’s first saint and martyr.
Following Christ in Alban’s footsteps, we are committed to welcome and compassion, worship and witness, courage and justice, leadership and service.
We are looking for a priest who is passionate about learning, committed to our ministry of welcome, understands all the possibilities of pilgrimage, and is a proven leader and team player.
We are committed to nurturing a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion
and want to encourage applications from a diverse range of people.
