Canon Pastor (Residentiary Canon) - Norwich Cathedral

Introduction

Canon Pastor

The Bishop of Norwich, in consultation with the Dean and Chapter of Norwich Cathedral, seeks to appoint a Canon Pastor.

We seek an experienced and inspirational priest, who will:

• take the lead in the pastoral care of the Cathedral congregation and community
• lead and enable the Cathedral congregation to grow in faith, living out their shared vocation to be a people transformed by Christ - prayerful, pastoral and prophetic
• creatively resource the Cathedral’s hospitality and welcome to its many pilgrims and visitors

In return, the Cathedral offers a creative and supportive context for ministry. The Canon Pastor will be working collaboratively with congregations, staff and volunteers, ministering within a clergy team that includes the Dean, Canon Precentor and Canon Librarian.

As a member of the Cathedral Foundation, they will share fully in the duties of being a residentiary canon and be a member (trustee) of the Cathedral’s governing body, the Chapter.

A house is provided in the Cathedral Close from which the Canon Pastor will provide ministry and hospitality. This is a full-time appointment.

The Cathedral is committed to nurturing a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion, and welcomes applications from a diverse range of people.

Closing Date: 25 June 2025. Shortlisting: 30 June 2025. Interviews in Norwich: 29-30 July 2025.
