Thank you for your interest in becoming the next Senior Non-Executive Member of the Chapter of St Paul’s Cathedral – our governing body.
St Paul’s has been on the landmark site at the heart of the City of London since 604 AD and Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece, including the famous Dome, is the fifth cathedral to welcome worshippers, pilgrims and visitors through its doors. As Senior Non-Executive Member of Chapter, you are appointed by the Bishop of London to offer support, challenge and wisdom both to the wider Chapter and, in particular, to the Dean of St Paul’s.
Our vision, mission and values define our purpose, our direction and our behaviours – they’re at the heart of everything we do.
Our vision is a simple as it is clear:
Inspiring faith
Welcoming everyone
A Cathedral for London and the world
And this is how we describe our mission:
From a world-renowned Cathedral, every day we set out to welcome and inspire. We show excellence in liturgy, heritage crafts, conservation, music, a host of human endeavours. Rooted in the Christian faith, we’re shaping a sustainable home for learning, celebration, reflection and worship.
Following new statutory legislation in 2021, St Paul’s Cathedral became a registered charity in December 2023 and embarked on a process of strengthening the independence of our governance through the appointment of non-executive directors with relevant professional skills, as well as having a commitment to the Christian faith.
St Paul’s and the Diocese of London are committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents our context and wider community. We are aware that those of United Kingdom Minority Ethnic / Global Majority Heritage and disabled people are currently under-represented among our clergy, and we particularly encourage application from those with the relevant skills and experience that will increase our representation.
You can learn much more in this microsite: if this mission speaks to you, please speak to us. We look forward to hearing from you.
With every blessing,
Andrew Tremlett
Dean of St Paul’s
