Christ Church now invites applications from suitably experienced candidates to join the Cathedral team as a Senior Verger.

The Senior Verger will be a vital part of the Cathedral community delivering outstanding welcome to all worshippers and visitors equally. The Vergers work collaboratively together in the Operations team, playing a vital part in ensuring the highest standards of delivery to the Cathedral as a house of worship, learning, the arts, and hospitality. Under day to day leadership from the Head Verger and strategic direction from the Operations Manager, this role is to confidently, professionally, and efficiently deliver all practical aspects of the department’s expanding portfolio of key operational outputs, including preparation and running of all events/services, welcome duties, duty management, health & safety, liaison, and logistics.
