Current Opportunities
Chief Financial Officer
Exeter Cathedral is seeking a qualified Chartered or Chartered Certified accountant for the role of Chief Financial Officer to lead the strategic financial management and governance of the charity and its subsidiary operations. Reporting to the Dean, the successful candidate will oversee all aspects of the Finance Department, including statutory reporting, annual budgeting and the development of medium-term financial plans. This senior leadership position requires significant post-qualifying experience to ensure robust internal controls, manage treasury and investment policies, and provide expert guidance on taxation issues such as VAT and Gift Aid. The role demands a resilient professional capable of influencing senior leaders and managing a dedicated team to support the wider mission of the Cathedral.
Closing date for applications: Friday 15 May 2026, 12 noon
Choral Scholarships
The Choral Scholarships at Exeter Cathedral (two each of counter-tenor or contralto, tenor and bass) are either held in conjunction with degree courses at Exeter University, (any subject, provided that lecture times do not clash seriously with choir commitments), or are offered to ‘gap’ students for either one or two years immediately before or after full-time tertiary study. The Choral Scholarships offer experience of singing daily in the Exeter Cathedral Choir alongside the six Lay Vicars. Former choral scholars have gone on to positions at some of the country’s major foundations.
We accept applications for Choral Scholarships throughout the year.
