Girton Parish Church is seeking an organist / choir director in
succession to Katherine Hambridge.
The commitment is one Sunday service (10 am) plus a mid-week choir practice (currently 6.30 - 7.30 pm on Tuesdays) plus very occasional extra services (Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Ascension Day mid week evenings, Palm Sunday and Sunday before Christmas evenings and Good Friday lunchtime).
Basic fee to be negotiated (but over £2000) with higher than standard fees for occasional offices (currently £68 per funeral or wedding, double if the wedding is video recorded). This year we have also paid an allowance towards fees for deps.
There is an amateur choir made up predominantly of adults, which has come on leaps and bounds in the recent past. The churchmanship is central with mainly traditional music. The church is welcoming and good fun with a usual attendance at the main service of 75 - 100.
The position has been held for the past two years by former organ scholars remaining in Cambridge after graduation.
Please contact the Rector, Will Adam on wja@luxmundi.co.uk or willadam@mac.com
or by telephone 01223 276235 for further information. Katherine would also be happy to give further details (kh324@cam.ac.uk)
