Priest Vicar
Christ Church, the Cathedral for the Diocese of Oxford and a college of the University of Oxford, is seeking to appoint a Priest Vicar for a fixed period of three years beginning in January 2025 or as soon thereafter as possible.
Christ Church Cathedral is unique in being both a cathedral and a college chapel. While this informs much of the structure and ministry of the cathedral, in practice there is a College Chaplain whose focus is on pastoral care of the college community and the services particularly designated as ‘college chapel’ services. The Priest Vicar will primarily focus on the ‘cathedral’ congregations and their members, and their liturgical duties will be the cathedral round of worship. The post-holder will be sensitive to pastoral needs and committed to building and fostering unity.
For more information, including how to apply, please see the attached Further Particulars.
Vacancy details
The Priest Vicar will be paid a stipend equivalent to that of an incumbent in the Diocese of Oxford (currently £31,757).
