Bradford Cathedral

We are a cathedral for the whole community in this part of West Yorkshire, welcoming schools, other faiths, civic visitors, historians, tourists, those who attend special services and events, worshipers, the vulnerable, occasional visitors… the list grows and grows. This is an outward facing post that is concerned to offer the best that we can to those who come to us.

Thank you very much for showing your interest in this post at Bradford Cathedral.

One of our core values is Hospitality and this post is key for us in responding to that priority.

We are a cathedral for the whole community in this part of West Yorkshire. Welcoming schools, other faiths, civic visitors, historians, tourists, those who attend special services and events, worshipers, the vulnerable, occasional visitors… the list grows and grows. This is, in many ways, an outward facing post that is concerned to offer the best that we can to those who come to us.

Education and Visitors is at a critical and exciting time as we look to develop the work with new posts. We are moving from one person to a department in order to do something new. 

You will need to have loads of energy, initiative and a passion for the Cathedral. With personal values that are aligned to those of the Cathedral, you will take responsibility for the development of this work, the management of people and the necessary outreach to the community.
