We are proud of the people who work for us at the Cathedral and have a very good level of staff retention, which means we don't often have vacancies. However, we do want to attract the best people to our jobs and take the process of recruitment seriously. We are also keen to ensure that Safeguarding is a top priority and will follow the Diocese of Worcester's Safe Recruitment policy and processes.

Vacancy | Principal Tenor Lay Clerk
The role of a principal lay clerk is to sing at all services sung by the Cathedral Choir, including at major festivals during the Cathedral’s year. In a normal week, this involves singing at six services. The Cathedral choir’s term dates broadly follow those of the King’s School, with additional duties most notably in the week running up to Christmas and again in the week before Easter (Holy Week).
