Gloucester Cathedral’s Fabric Advisory Committee (FAC) is seeking to recruit new members with skills/experience in at least one of these fields:
- Access planning in historic buildings
- Adaptation of historic buildings for modern use
- Archaeology
- Curation (decorative and applied art)
- Medieval architectural history
- Visitor experience in historic sites
The role of the FAC is to advise the Cathedral’s Chapter on the care, conservation, repair and development of the building, its setting and the significant objects it holds. It has statutory responsibility for approving all works, developments, repairs and loans which Chapter wishes to carry out.
Membership of the FAC is a voluntary role, but travel expenses may be reimbursed. Members are required to attend four meetings a year in Gloucester and are occasionally called upon to visit between meetings in relation to particular projects.
Diversity and equality
Gloucester Cathedral is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion for all its staff and volunteers, and we are explicitly inclusive of all, whatever their race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.
Term of appointment
The normal term for a Committee member is 5 years, tying in with the dates of the Quinquennium. A new Quinquennium began in the spring of 2026 and it is intended that whoever is appointed will serve until spring 2031. Members may subsequently be re-appointed for future Quinquennia.
Are you attracted by the idea of contributing to the care of Gloucester’s great medieval church? Do you have any of the skills/experience we are looking for?
