Chorister Chaperones: Manchester Cathedral
Manchester Cathedral is seeking to appoint two Chorister Chaperones who are to be the principal carers for the Cathedral Choristers when at the Cathedral.
Manchester Cathedral is seeking to appoint two Chorister Chaperones who are to be the principal carers for the Cathedral Choristers when at the Cathedral. The safety, welfare and happiness of our young people is of paramount importance to the Manchester Cathedral Chapter. Therefore, these important roles require individuals with experience in caring for children, who enjoy their company and talking with them and can easily interact on their level. The Chorister Chaperones need to be calm with children and understand how to support children’s wellbeing, offering regular encouragement or guidance when needed.
The ability to communicate well and work flexibly alongside a variety of people is key, as is building professional relationships with the parents and carers of the choristers. The Chorister Chaperones will liaise with the Director of Music in all day-to-day matters regarding the choristers as well as providing safeguarding and pastoral care to the choristers.
As the roles involve attending the services at which the choristers sing, it may particularly suit a choral music enthusiast, as the Chorister Chaperones sit in the Quire near the choristers.
These roles are separated into two working patterns, but could also be combined to create one post.

Applications close: Friday, 30 January 2026

Severn Wye is looking for a talented individual to empower people and communities living in rural areas to act on climate change.
Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF), Energised Communities will empower 10 disadvantaged rural communities in Wales and England to tackle climate change, providing support and inspiration for community-led action focused on reducing energy use and generating clean energy, resulting in reduced carbon emissions, increased community resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Energised Communities will support communities that don’t traditionally engage with climate issues, bringing them together for action-oriented discussions about energy and its impact on climate change. Communities will identify local challenges, establish what people care about and explore solutions. The project will provide inspiration for what’s possible and give communities the tools to make it happen. We will support communities in the long term, recognising that building the ideas, skills and confidence to see projects through takes time. The project will help communities take more control over their energy futures, creating opportunities for green skills, local employment and community regeneration.
The ideal candidate will be well-organised, enjoy producing excellent work and love working independently in a team environment. Whether you are known for your people skills, problem-solving, or attention to detail – you may well be the person Severn Wye is looking for. In return for your skills and hard work we offer a competitive salary, appropriate training and a company pension scheme. If you’re looking to strengthen your career, broaden your experience and contribute to a sustainable future while doing so, we’d love to hear from you.
To avoid disappointment, we recommend submitting your application early as the vacancy may be closed before the advertised closing date.
