Director of Music, St. James’ Anglican Church, Vancouver, BC

St. James’ Anglican Church in Vancouver is seeking a half-time Director of Music to continue and enhance its long-standing reputation as a centre of musical excellence. We are currently inviting expressions of interest from those who wish to be considered for the position.

St. James’ is an inclusive Christian community, seeking to worship God in the beauty of holiness. Our sacramental life is rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, and we are an affirming catholic parish.

The building is located in the heart of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side while the Parish contains the much wider Strathcona Neighbourhood. We are both a neighbourhood and a destination church.

Our choir is a mix of volunteer and paid musicians, who sing for the weekly High Mass, occasional Choral Evensongs, and other special liturgies. The Parish also organizes several non-liturgical musical events throughout the year. Our three-manual Casavant organ was installed in 1938 and most recently overhauled in 2003. St. James Music Academy, a separate institution housed in the building, is a non-profit music school providing free classical music education to children and youth in our community.

The position is remunerated according to RCCO salary scale guidelines ($26, 582 – $64,786). The anticipated start date is early in 2026. The initial deadline for applications is August 1, 2025 although the position will remain open until filled.

Please contact the parish at: [email protected] to request a complete application package.
