COULD GOD BE CALLING YOU TO BRADFORD?
Bring your gifts, your experience and your imagination to help shape the future of Bradford Cathedral.
We are seeking a thoughtful, imaginative and collaborative priest who is passionate about helping people of all ages and backgrounds discover faith, find belonging and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. Bradford is one of the UK’s youngest and most culturally diverse cities. At a time of strategic renewal, we are looking for someone who will bring fresh perspectives, pastoral wisdom and a commitment to working with others to help shape our Cathedral’s life, mission and future.
This is an opportunity to nurture discipleship across generations, encourage and equip lay leadership, and help develop new possibilities for shared mission and ministry with churches across East Bradford.
We welcome applications from priests with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, including parish, chaplaincy and pioneering ministry. Previous Cathedral experience is not essential.
We particularly encourage applications from women and priests of UK Minority Ethnic / Global Majority Heritage backgrounds, whose perspectives and experiences would enrich our leadership and common life.
Come and help us shape what comes next.
Interested in exploring the role?
We would warmly welcome an informal conversation about the opportunity and any practical arrangements that might help you discern whether to apply.
Deadline for applications: Sunday 29th November 2026
Interviews:Monday 14th December in Bradford
