Wells Cathedral School now seeks an outstanding Head to build on its many strengths and to lead the School confidently into its next phase. Reporting to the Board of Governors, the Head will provide visionary, collegiate leadership, safeguarding the School’s distinctive ethos while ensuring it continues to thrive in a changing educational landscape.

Iona Resident Post

Abbey Musician

Council appointment

Director / Trustee of the Iona Community

Voluntary role 

The Iona Community is seeking to appoint up to three new Directors (Trustees) to join our Council from the 2026 AGM.

This is a significant and rewarding opportunity to contribute to the governance and strategic direction of an international, ecumenical Christian movement rooted in hope and lived in community.

About the role

Directors of the Iona Community are also charity Trustees. Together, Council members hold collective responsibility for the governance, strategy and overall stewardship of the Community, ensuring that our work is faithful to our vision, values and charitable purposes. This role is one of strategic oversight, not day-to-day operational management, which is carried out by employed staff.

Trustees are expected to act with care and diligence, to safeguard the ethos and reputation of the Iona Community, and to help ensure that we remain legally, financially and spiritually sustainable for the future.

Who we are looking for

We are keen to hear from people who are aligned with the vision, purpose and values of the Iona Community and who can contribute thoughtfully and constructively to Council discussions.

Applicants may be Members, Associate Members, Friends of the Iona Community, or people from beyond the membership. We are particularly mindful of the need for a diverse mix of skills, backgrounds, perspectives and life experience on Council, and welcome applications from people who may not have previous trustee experience.

Trustees are encouraged to bring both professional expertise and a willingness to engage deeply with the life, faith and common task of the Community.

Time commitment

Council meets five times per year:

• Four meetings online (approximately two hours each)

• One in-person meeting over two days

Some Trustees also serve on committees or hold specific liaison roles, which involve additional meetings (usually online) and preparation time. All Trustees are expected to read papers in advance and to engage thoughtfully in decision-making.

A comprehensive induction programme and trustee training will be provided.

Remuneration

This is a voluntary role. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed in line with Iona Community policy.

Appointment and term of office

Trustees are normally appointed for a four-year term, with the possibility of re-appointment for one further term. Appointments are ratified by the membership of the Iona Community at the AGM.

We have three vacancies, with appointments taking effect from the AGM on Monday 29 June 2026.

How to apply

To apply, please complete the Iona Community Trustee application form, outlining your reasons for applying and the skills and experience you would bring to the role.

Introduction

Thank  you  for  your  interest  in  the  position  of  Conference  &  Bookings  Administrator  at  Ripon  College
Cuddesdon. We  hope  the  information  in  this document  offers  a  sense  of the  vibrant  community  life  and the
transformative work taking place at the College. This is a key leadership role, and we are looking for a candidate
who  can  contribute  to  the  strategic  growth  of  the  College  while  ensuring  the  effective  delivery  of  its  daily
operations.

A Profile of Ripon College Cuddesdon

Founded in 1854 by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce, Ripon College Cuddesdon is one of the Church of England’s
principal  institutions  for ministerial  formation.  Nestled in  the  Oxfordshire  countryside  just  outside  the  city of
Oxford,  the  College  is  home  to  a  diverse,  inclusive,  and  worship-centred  community  that  brings  together
theological learning, spiritual formation, and residential life.

The  College  trains  both  full-time  and  part-time  ordinands  from  across  the  Church  of  England  and  beyond,
alongside independent students and those pursuing postgraduate study. It also plays a wider role in the Church’s
educational  and  missional  life,  offering  programmes  in  contextual  theology  and  lay  ministry,  as  well  as
contributing to public theological engagement.

Our campus is shared with a number of institutions and pathways, and the site is in regular use for conferences,
retreats, and events throughout the year. Our hospitality work is an important part of the College’s identity and
sustainability, offering a space of welcome and reflection for a broad range of groups and guests.

As we look to the future, the College is committed to growing its reach and impact — both through theological
education and through developing our site and services to serve the wider Church and community.
