The next Dean of Southwell will be:

• A capable steward, confident in working with experts to conserve and interpret a significant centre of Christian heritage for the short and long term.

• A gifted teacher and preacher with theological depths who can inspire confidence across the diverse church and community contexts in the city and county, using the convening power of the minster as a focus for unity in the gospel.
