    Wells Cathedral Appoints New Assistant Director of Music.

    They now have an interim Director of of Music whose substantive post is the Assistant Director and a new Assistant Director. HR must surely know something we don't.

     

    Top job advert now out, but as the musings already posted suggest, it's hard to see how this is anything other than a formality!!

    ...to St Mary’s, Bourne Street. I wonder what the attraction of such a move would be...?

    Bourne Street is a Sunday only job, I think, so it must be alongside something else (Paul Brough combined it with Keble, of course)...

  3. I see Keble Oxford and Queens Cambridge are both advertising for a new Director of Music.  Essentially the same hours, same requirements, same sort of set up.  Keble offer a FTE salary of £49,667; Queens £31,250!

    Interesting juxtaposition of job adverts in Oxford.  St Peter's College - a 0.4 position for two services a week, £19k.  Worcester College - a 0.4 position for four services a week, £14k.  

    Anyone know if Worcester were able to appoint mid-lockdown, as St Peter's was (Quentin Beer)? I think Professor Darlington is still holding the fort?

    Can't find anything from Ripon Cathedral, either on social media or the cathedral website, saying so. Doesn't mean he hasn't of course.

    Indeed (which is why it all seems a bit worrying). I saw it on Mr Bryden's Twitter feed.

  6. I understand Stephen Darlington will be looking after the choirs at Worcester College Oxford for two terms, while a more permanent successor to Thomas Allery is sought.

    As Edward Higginbottom does the same at St Peter's College, and as Matthew Martin prepares to leave Keble College at Easter, it seems a lot of change is afoot below the dreaming spires!

     

  7. If they get on with it after Easter, a September start is viable, so only half a term really. Churches can sometimes find it harder to move swiftly, depending on their management structure and if the PCC need to agree a changed job specification.

     

    Ah, is half a term standard practice? It's a full term in my line of work!
