Portsmouth Cathedral is looking to recruit members of a new Nominations Committee. The Committee will advise and support the Chapter (which is the governing body of the Cathedral) in recruiting non-executive members to both the Chapter and its Committees and in helping to ensure that the membership is skilled, experienced and diverse. We set out below more details about the Nominations Committee and the key criteria for membership.

We are particularly looking for people who are interested in, and supportive of, the work of the Cathedral; are collaborative and team oriented; have experience of serving on a committee or board in their working lives or as a volunteer; and have practical experience of recruitment in the public, private or charitable sectors. You do not need to be a communicant member of the Church of England to be on the Committee. Interest, commitment and sympathy with the Cathedral’s mission are the most important attributes; and there is scope to grow and learn in the role.

The time commitment is not huge.  It is envisaged that the committee will meet two or three times a year with members available at other times to be consulted and offer advice. The initial term of office is three years.
