In late 2023, the Cathedral adopted a new governance structure under the Cathedrals Measure 2021 and became a registered charity with the Charity Commission in March 2024.The new Chapter must consist of between nine and twelve members and is led by the Dean as Chair. The other members are: four residentiary canons (two executive and two non-executive); the senior non-executive member (SNEM), and five other non-executive members, including the Chair of Finance and two elected at the annual meeting of those on the Cathedral’s electoral roll.
Following a successful initial round of appointments, we are now looking for people who are willing to build on the commitment, enthusiasm and energy of members as the Cathedral diversifies its strategic thinking.
Portsmouth Cathedral, the Cathedral of the Sea, has been the seat of the Bishop of Portsmouth since the creation of the Diocese of Portsmouth in 1927. It has a distinctive history and role in a great maritime city, and serves a diverse diocese that stretches from the Isle of Wight to East Hampshire.
Portsmouth Cathedral is a member of Inclusive Church. We are committed to growing in diversity and inclusion and seek to reflect this in Chapter, welcoming and encouraging applications from people of all backgrounds. The role contains an Occupational Requirement, in line with the Equalities Act 2010, in that the successful candidates will be a practising Christian: either a communicant member of the Church of England, or of a church with which it is in communion. An enhanced DBS check (child and adult workforce) will be required.
