PROVOST vacancy in Scotland

Registered Scottish Charity SC010656

St Ninian’s Cathedral, at the heart of the city of Perth and the Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane, is seeking a new Provost who will build on the Cathedral’s strengths and enable further growth. The congregation is friendly, welcoming and inclusive, and proud of the Cathedral’s Anglo Catholic worship and choral and musical tradition.

We are praying for a Provost who will

  • preach, teach and inspire us

  • be a sympathetic communicator who listens and offers wise counsel

  • while respecting our traditions in worship and music, be able to develop the liturgy

  • lead and support the realisation of the principal goals of the Cathedral’s five year plan – namely growing and nurturing the congregation, maximising the potential of the Cathedral building, and moving towards Net Zero

  • be a senior priest of the Diocese, who works closely with colleagues and with the Bishop

We offer

  • a welcoming, diverse and growing congregation

  • a cohesive Vestry which finds solutions to problems

  • a modern eco friendly house and support to settle-in

  • a Diocese with a strong identity and a commitment to work together
