Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
We're looking for two Events & Marketing Assistants to join our small, busy team at Portsmouth Cathedral. It's a varied, practical role that sits right at the heart of our commercial operations - coordinating venue hire bookings, setting up for evening concerts, supporting licensed events, and everything in between. Alongside this supporting the marketing for our events and the wider organisation as a whole.
No two weeks look quite the same, and roughly half the role takes place during evenings and weekends. The pattern of hours will vary week to week in line with the Cathedral's events programme. In weeks where no events are scheduled, the postholders will work standard office hours. There are two posts available with a proposal to work three days each of 21 hours.
Portsmouth Cathedral has been at the heart of Old Portsmouth since 1180, and it remains one of the city's most distinctive and active spaces - a working place of worship, a heritage venue, and a hub for concerts, community events, and private hire all at once. If you're someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys variety, and likes the idea of working somewhere genuinely unlike any other, this could be exactly the right role for you.
