We are currently seeking a Liturgical Support Officer, responsible for weddings, baptisms and visiting choirs, to provide maternity cover, joining our Liturgy team.

The post holder will be responsible for providing effective and pro-active administration for weddings and baptisms (for members of the Order of the British Empire and the Cathedral community) and visiting choirs (who sing services when the Cathedral Choir is on leave).

This is an interesting and busy role, responsible for liaising closely with families and couples applying for these services and also for the booking and administration of the many Visiting Choirs working closely with the ministers and other Cathedral departments.

The successful candidate will have experience of working in the events industry or in a Cathedral/Church role with an events focus, with demonstrable examples of events planning. You will have the ability to work in a very busy environment and remain calm under pressure, prioritising your workload and handling a wide range of projects simultaneously. Effective and clear communication skills both written and verbal are essential, along with the ability to build strong and effective working relationships with a diverse range of people internally and externally. 

The successful applicant will also be expected to share in St Paul’s Cathedral’s commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.

In return you’ll find we are a welcoming place to work where we each take responsibility for our part in the Cathedral’s work, looking after St Paul’s for the next generation.  
•    Our annual holiday allowance is 25 days plus bank holidays (FTE) 
•    Our pension scheme allows for up to 7.5% employer contribution
•    And as you might expect we have life assurance of four times basic salary and an employee assistance programme

We are committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of United Kingdom Minority Ethnic / Global Majority Heritage, women, and disabled people are currently under-represented in our workforce, and we particularly encourage applications from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase our representation. 

This role is on a fixed term basis for 13 months to cover a period of maternity leave, and we would ideally like the successful candidate to be able to commence in the role from early June 2025, in order to receive a full handover from the current role holder. 

Interviews will take place on Tuesday 6th May 2025.
