Wells Cathedral Chorister Trust exists to help young singers from any background to contribute to a cathedral tradition that has endured for more than a thousand years; to train in a world-class musical environment.

We want to give the opportunity for choral training and an excellent education to more people from a wider range of backgrounds throughout the UK.

The Trust provides bursaries to talented children to train in a world-class musical environment, and to enjoy a unique all-round education at Wells Cathedral School, be they day-pupils or boarders.

The Trust is recruiting an Administration Assistant to support the Clerk and the Trustees. This is a varied role which will require good organisation, initiative and the ability to communicate effectively. Experience of working in communications or customer relations would be an advantage.
