About us
Careers
Winchester Cathedral encompasses over 1,000 years of history and we invite you to be part of the story...
Like all major heritage attractions, there is an awful lot going on behind the scenes. Our community of clergy, staff and volunteers support the Cathedral’s mission, preserve and maintain the fabric of the building, and provide an excellent experience for over 130,000 annual visitors.
We're not currently recruiting for any positions but do check again soon as we update this page regularly
A testimonial
What it's like to work at Winchester Cathedral
“I love coming to work here every day. The Cathedral is a very special place and the warmth of staff and volunteers mean that I always feel at home as I walk around the building and Inner Close. I am very lucky that, in my role, I work with lots of people across different departments and specialisms, all of whom share the same care and dedication to making the Cathedral the wonderful and welcoming place it is.”
Ellie Swire, Curator & Librarian
