Introduction

The Bishop of Guildford and Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, Guildford are looking for a new colleague to join us as a Residentiary Canon to serve as Canon Missioner. 

We have growing congregations who are wanting to become more missional, to engage with our wider community and who have a desire for a deepening of discipleship. This is an exciting opportunity to join the cathedral as we finalise our Vision and Strategy for 2026-2030 which has mission and education at its heart. 

We are looking for an exciting colleague who will help us to draw more deeply into the life of being a disciple and enabling others to join us too. 

We offer a great team, in a beautiful cathedral, close proximity to London and a desire to grow. 

Could God be calling you to explore this?

And if you would like to have an informal conversation, please contact The Dean of Guildford at Dean@guildford-cathedral.org

Interviews will be held on 29 and 30 April 2026.


As a diocese we believe that diversity is a strength.  We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who are female, younger, identify themselves as a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it's essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
