Volunteer Trustee Role

Gloucester Cathedral is seeking to appoint two new Trustees, to join its governing body, Cathedral Chapter. This is a challenging but exciting time for the Cathedral as we seek to take forward the Cathedral's new strategy.

We are looking for people with the expertise, Christian commitment and time to help lead the organisation through a new season which includes; complete the In Tune Music and Organ campaign, which will revitalise the musical education of hundreds of musicians of all ages; seeing through a £9m refurbishment of the Cathedral’s fan-vaulted Cloister; and planning the next phase of development of our learning and participation community work and securing long-term sustainability.

These roles require applicants who can make a valuable contribution to the life of the Cathedral, we are particularly keen to receive applicants with legal expertise or a commercial/entrepreneurial background.

Successful applicants will enjoy working collaboratively as part of a strong and supportive leadership team to provide a clear strategic vision to the Senior Executive Team and to monitor progress and provide professional advice and support.

We want our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion for all to be reflected in the composition of our governing body, staff and volunteers so we particularly welcome applicants from communities currently underrepresented on the Chapter.

Closing Date: 1 September
Interviews: 15 and 22 September
