Musical Requirements:
The United Benefice of St. Helen's, Athersley and St. John the Evangelist, Carlton, Barnsley, require a permanent organist to start as soon as possible. The Benefice is of an Anglo-Catholic tradition with a modern feel. The Benefice boasts 2 fine two-manual organs, a Grade II listed JJ Binns and a Forster & Andrews, both of which are regularly serviced.
Other details:
The requirements of the role would be to play at two Masses each Sunday, 9.30am then 11am, and to play at occasional Masses, for example at Christmas and throughout Passiontide. Knowledge of Anglo-Catholic liturgy would be desirable. The organist would be given first refusal on funerals and weddings within the Benefice. It would also be desirable if the organist could lead the small but growing enthusiastic choir at St. Helen's, which would require commitment to rehearsals before key celebrations throughout the year.
Fees are negotiable.
