Wesley Uniting Church Forrest, ACT
Music Vacancies
Garth Mansfield, OAM, retires on June 30th after 30 years’ service to Wesley Uniting Church.
The Church is now seeking a suitable candidate for a Director of Music who will be able to build on the music ministry already established, and to take this aspect of the church’s mission to a new stage of development.
The Wesley Music Centre is managed by a separate body, the Wesley Music Foundation whose Board is appointed by the Joint Church Council. The Foundation is also seeking a replacement for Mr Mansfield as Director of the Wesley Music Centre.
The two roles of Director of Music, Wesley Church and Director of the Wesley Music Centre, could continue to be filled by the one person, or separately by two appointees.
It should be noted that where one person is appointed to both part time positions, together with income from organ teaching (see job description), the emoluments combine to be the equivalent of a full time salary.
