Sheffield Cathedral is looking for two outstanding choral leaders to deliver its Schools Singing Programme and support progressive musical training across a diverse range of age groups.

As one of the first Anglican Cathedrals to join the NSSP with a bold ambition to put music education at the heart of our mission and ministry, it is looking for musicians who will:

• Go into schools developing singing skills with children, especially in the most deprived parts of the city and region.
• Develop Sheffield Cathedral’s musical work with young people.
• Be part of a new Music Department which is passionate about singing and will lead its worship with joy and skill.

Sheffield Cathedral sits at the heart of a great city. Known throughout the world for its steel, its football and its music, Sheffield has survived tough times and is loved passionately by those who live here. The Cathedral has a history of hosting cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions, as well as providing educational opportunities for schools across the region. Our vision is to be a place for all people, and as we continue to emerge from the Covid pandemic, the team at the Cathedral are looking at every aspect of what we do to see how we are fulfilling this ambition, and what new things we can do to reach out to a wider, more diverse range of people. At its heart, Sheffield Cathedral is a place of worship with a growing congregation of people originating from countries across the world.

The creation of two roles for Choral Directors is part of a renewed vision for music at Sheffield Cathedral. These are key roles within the growing music department which will support our ambition to place music at the heart of our mission and ministry to the benefit of people, schools and communities across the Diocese.

Applications must be submitted by 12 noon on Friday 17 May.
