With the retirement of our long-serving organist & choir leader, we are seeking someone to continue our well-loved musical tradition.

The beautiful benefice of Washburn and Mid-Wharfe, in the Harrogate deanery comprises six churches which serve small villages, hamlets, scattered dwellings and farms.

The Dean and Chapter seek to appoint a priest to the clergy team of this busy parish church Cathedral, with particular responsibility for co-ordinating the liturgical and musical life of the Cathedral community.

The new Priest in Charge will share the parish’s desire to show the love of Jesus to the people of the community, encouraging the congregation to step outside the security of their comfort zone. Other areas of priority identified by the parish include the development of its ministry to children and young people, and the desire to increase outreach and social action in the local area
