As we celebrate our 1500 anniversary, we seek a visionary Dean to lead Bangor Cathedral and Bro Deiniol Ministry Area into a future of renewal and growth.
As the seat of the Bishop of Bangor and the current Archbishop of Wales, the Cathedral plays a vital role in Welsh church life, hosting key diocesan, provincial and civic events.
Following an episcopal visitation, the Cathedral is entering a new season. As Dean, you will work with Chapter to implement the visitation recommendations and embed a culture of transparency and accountability. You will be:
-
Deeply rooted in faith, with a vision to position the Cathedral as a center of excellence in worship, mission, and ministry.
-
Committed to growing ministries, nurturing disciples, and welcoming young people and families.
-
Fluent in written and spoken Welsh and keen to embrace our bilingual identity.
-
An experienced leader and skilled in developing sustainable financial models, seeking out creative partnerships and exploring untapped potential for income generation
-
Willing to develop tourism opportunities and ministry to pilgrims and spiritual seekers who journey through our sacred landscape.
The Dean will be a key member of the Archbishop’s leadership team and will contribute to shaping our strategic direction. The team will be strengthened by greater diversity, and we particularly welcome applications from diverse communities.
If you feel called by God to lead here, we would love to hear from you. This is a role of deep significance, filled with the possibility to shape the future of Bangor Cathedral and Bro Deiniol Ministry Area.
