The Stipendiary Clerk roles will be for a period of one year, of which the first six months are probationary.

Stipendiary Clerks sing for the Cathedral’s choral services all year round. They are expected to act in sympathy with the work and ethos of the foundation, as well as fulfilling the musical requirements of the post. A commitment to Christ Church Cathedral, and an appetite to take an active part in its liturgical life, is expected. The Stipendiary Clerks report directly to the Organist (Director of Music); other key relationships include the Sub Organist, Director of Frideswide Voices, Lay and Academical Clerks, Organ Scholars and Cathedral Clergy.

Christ Church is looking to appoint candidates with experience of singing in a significant ecclesiastical setting. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate a high level of technical proficiency and excellent musicianship, particularly in sight-reading. It is possible to combine this post with a second occupation or research.
