Volunteering

Our busy office deals with the organisational and administrative aspects of Cathedral life. The staff based here are responsible for a wide range of areas, including Music, Events, Marketing and Visitor Experience.

Volunteers are needed to help with a variety of administrative and IT based tasks.

Commitment: Taking place during standard office hours (Mon to Fri, 9am – 5pm). Regular and ad hoc opportunities available to be arranged by mutual agreement

Accompany groups of visitors on tours to the top of the Cathedral Tower which include behind the scenes access to ancient roof spaces, the medieval bell chamber and spectacular views across the city and countryside.

If public speaking isn’t your thing, each tour also requires a second volunteer to assist with the comfort and safety of the group. Volunteers need to be able to climb the 269 steps to the top (and back!).

Commitment: Tours last for one hour and usually run between April and October. Minimum requirement of one tour per month on a rota basis.

Help visitors learn about the building by welcoming visitor to the The Tribune Gallery, an interactive exhibition space high above the Quire where both children and adults can explore the past and present. Volunteers must be able to climb up 40 stone steps.

A team of dedicated volunteers serve a cooked breakfast to the homeless and vulnerable every Thursday and Sunday mornings at the Cathedral. Volunteers are required to help serve the breakfast and clear away afterwards.
