(Good train and underground links with Central London – and also close to the M11 & M25.)
We have a fine two manual organ, built by William Drake of Buckfastleigh in 2002, and regularly maintained.
The musical life of the parish includes Sunday Mass at 10.30am.
The successful applicant will play the organ at the 10.30am Mass and also train both an adult choir and continue the training of the existing children’s choir to lead the music at the 10.30am Mass (the two choirs will perform on alternate Sundays).
We have a large number of young families in our parish community and a current Mass Attendance of 200 at the 10.30am Mass – with a further 300 attending the other Sunday Masses.
It is envisaged that the duties of the Organist/DoM will be for 5 hours per week for 46 weeks per year - plus an additional 30 hours for Christmas/Holy Week/Easter.
A salary of between £6000 and £7500 is offered depending on qualifications and experience.
In addition there are numerous weddings and funerals each year: additional fees for these will be payable. But if an applicant is unable to commit him/herself to play at weddings or funerals, this will not be a problem.
