Tewkesbury Abbey is one of the great sacred spaces of England: a place of daily worship, rich heritage, music, welcome, and mission at the heart of our town. For over nine centuries the Abbey has stood as a sign of faith, hospitality, and service, drawing together local worshippers, visitors, pilgrims, and tourists from across the world. Today we remain committed to being both a living parish church and an open, generous presence for all.

They are recruiting a new Head Verger and Sacristan to play a vital part in this calling. This is a role rooted in service, care, and leadership, ensuring that the Abbey is a place where worship can be offered reverently and confidently, where clergy and choirs are supported, and where all who enter are received with warmth and professionalism. The Head Verger and Sacristan is central to the smooth running of our liturgical life, the stewardship of our extraordinary building, and the coordination of a dedicated team of vergers and volunteers.
