Charlotte’s full-time role will see her recruiting more volunteers to help with tower tours, gardening, serving in the shop (which is set for an exciting relaunch in the coming months) and assisting with a packed programme of events planned for 2022.

Inclusivity is integral to the Cathedral’s Vision and Values and Charlotte will be working with a wide range of people to encourage them to become Cathedral volunteers. She will also be liaising with businesses looking to arrange a ‘volunteering day’ for their staff, perhaps as a team building exercise or as a way of giving back to the community.

Charlotte brings a great deal of experience to the role having worked with members of the community in her clinical job at Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon, where she led a team of staff to achieve their full potential. She is keen to support volunteers to do the same.

Canon Tim Alban Jones, Vice Dean of Peterborough, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Charlotte to the team and excited about the skills and insights she brings with her. Volunteers play such a vital role in the life of the Cathedral and we simply couldn’t manage without them. We hope that they, in turn, gain valuable friendship, skills and experience from us and we look forward to Charlotte being able to offer these opportunities to a wide variety of people”.  

Charlotte Amato-Gauci said:

“I have had such a wonderful welcome to Cathedral life from all of our staff and volunteers, so I am confident that any volunteers who come forward would get a similar reception. I look forward to promoting the inspiring work the volunteers do. If you are thinking of volunteering at the Cathedral, we really do have such a variety of opportunities to get involved in. Our team love developing their knowledge of the history of the Cathedral, using their skills, working with and meeting new people, all the while knowing that their work is needed and valued.”
