Post Introduction
The Cathedral is loved by people across the world, and owned locally as a place of deep significance. This is variously as a place of pilgrimage, a church, a quiet space, an historic building with great historic treasures, a place of learning, a great place to volunteer, a place of work, a place of astonishing beauty in its architecture, art, music, surrounds, and simply a great place to visit as a tourist

- Being a servant-hearted and pastoral minister to all parts of the Cathedral community, recognising the past, but bringing a sense of joyful hope for the future.

That it is seen as a welcoming, open and accessible place for all.
- Working to ensure that the Cathedral, its leadership, work and mission are fully integrated into all aspects of Diocesan life, working in partnership in proclaiming the Gospel.

- **Someone who is committed to personal wellbeing**, nourished by the healthiness of their own personal spiritual life, learning and development.
- **A gifted preacher and teacher** who is committed to prayer, to inspiring people as confident missionary disciples, a mixed ecology of church and growing the church younger and more diverse. An innovative and creative leader in mission with the ability to navigate and balance the whole spectrum of life at the Cathedral.
- **Someone who can grow to love the people of Durham and the North East**, passionate about pilgrimage, the heritage of the Northern Saints and for developing and promoting Durham Cathedral’s place at the heart of the region.
- **Has a heart for a variety of different styles of worship **and ways of being Church, including the Cathedral’s core, which is the Anglican choral tradition.
- **Gifted and collaborative in developing partnerships**, someone at ease in the public square, passionate about social justice and able to break down barriers. Working in partnership with the Diocese to lever the Cathedral’s convening influence. Someone who draws life from community engagement, working with others and is able to move seamlessly between intersecting worlds and relationships, including Durham University.

Experience of leading, developing, motivating and empowering staff and volunteer teams. Someone who is strategic, tactical, resilient and looks to the long-term with the ability to instil and inspire a strong sense of momentum and purpose.

About Us
Durham Cathedral, the mother church of the Diocese of Durham, is unique in the Church of England for its inheritance of these great icons of English - and especially northern - spirituality. We also house a relic of St Oswald and altars dedicated to St Hild of Whitby, St Aidan of Lindisfarne and St Margaret of Scotland. The Treasures of St Cuthbert and an almost unrivalled collection of manuscripts and books including three copies of Magna Carta are also housed within or very close to the Cathedral. The building, the third church on this site, is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was described by Bill Bryson as the ‘best cathedral on planet earth’ - a claim which led to him being appointed Chancellor for six years of the University which the Chapter of Durham Cathedral in collaboration with the Bishop founded in 1832. Durham has also been voted the nation’s favourite cathedral on several occasions.
