A unique opportunity has arisen for a Chapel Clerk (and Verger) to work in the Chapel & Choir Department of St John's College, Cambridge, combining liturgical and chapel administration, front of house and floor management, alongside a ceremonial role as Verger in this prestigious setting.
The Chapel Clerk supports the provision of religious services in the College Chapel and the administration associated with them and ensures the Chapel is a safe, welcoming and hospitable place for everyone who enters, including students, staff, fellows, and members of the public.
Divine service in the College Chapel is in accordance with the rites of the Church of England and the chapel team offer pastoral care for members of the College, in particular, its student members, regardless of their religious beliefs. The Chapel Clerk is a key member of the Chapel and Choir Department and works closely with the Dean, the Chaplain, and Director of Music and musicians on a daily basis.
The College has a world-famous Choir formed of children and adult voices. The Choir provides music for services on six days of the week in the English Cathedral tradition. These services are held Tuesday to Sunday at 6.30pm during the three full academic terms of the University Calendar, and during a period of summer residence after the end of the Easter Term up until mid-July. In addition there are special services through the year including Compline, Matriculation and Graduation as well as pastoral services including weddings, baptisms and funerals.
The Chapel Clerk should be in sympathy with the Chapels Christian ethos and outstanding musical tradition and with the wider work of the Chapel team. xwzovoh
