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.

• 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
