**Westminster Cathedral are looking for a Bass Lay Clerk to join 7 other Lay Clerks singing alongside the boy choristers from the Cathedral Choir School. This is the Westminster Cathedral Choir, acclaimed as one of the world’s great choirs.**:
**What you’ll be doing**:
Westminster Cathedral Choir is acclaimed as one of the world’s great choirs. The Cathedral’s founder, Cardinal Vaughan, intended its liturgies to be enriched with the finest music available and for the Choir to be the ‘jewel in the crown’ of English Catholicism. The Choir draws it repertoire from a rich seam of music written especially for Catholic liturgy, and plainchant is the well-spring from which the Choir’s musical activities flow.
The Bass Lay Clerk, as part of the Choir, will sing Vespers and Mass daily during Choir terms. You will be one of eight professional Lay Clerks (two counter-tenors, three tenors and three bases) who are employed to join the boy choristers, all of which are boarders in the Cathedral Choir School.
The Choir will be joined by additional singers for Sundays and for special services, concerts and recordings. Furthermore, there is a substantial approved deputy list from which Lay Clerks may engage deputies within permitted limits.
**This means there’s lots to get involved in - and to be excited about.**
**What we’re looking for**:
As an exceptional singer, you will wish to contribute to the sound of the Choir, and be passionate about maintaining and improving the high standards of singing on which we pride ourselves.
**Additional details**:
- There are two days off per week, one of which is generally fixed and the other flexible. From time to time the choir may be required to sing on a day normally deemed a day off. A day off in lieu may be accrued if a Lay Clerk is prevented from being able to take two days off by such a schedule change. Such changes may only be requested with a notice period of six weeks.
- Overtime accrues in blocks of 15 minutes wherever a service, event or session needs to be extended.
- Holiday is taken outside of term-times. Term-times are as follows:
- The first Sunday of September until Christmas Day, with a six-day break in October
- The vigil of Epiphany* until Easter Day
- The Thursday following Low Sunday until the Sunday after the final Sunday of the chorister term (usually the 2nd or 3rd Sunday in July)
- when Epiphany or its transferal falls on a Sunday, then term begins on the Sunday.
- It is accepted that you will undertake additional paid work or employment for other employers or organisations.
- In the case of a national event taking place in Westminster Cathedral at short notice, you may be asked to return from overseas venues and, if necessary, curtail other work engagements. In the event of travel expenses being incurred, these will be reimbursed.
**What we offer you**:
In return for your hard work and commitment to us, you will receive a competitive reward package which will include, but is not limited to:
- Life Assurance
- Access to Healthcare Cash Plan
- Discounts scheme through Edenred-shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets gift cards and much more
- Season Ticket Loan
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Access to low cost loans with Churches Mutual
- Employee assistance programme
- free, independent 24/7 help and advice for work-related issues as well as problems affecting home life
