<p></p><p>The six Bedels play a prominent role in the University’s official and ceremonial occasions, which are an important part of its business, its traditions and a living reflection both of its long history and of the institution it is today. The Bedels attend upon the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, the Proctors and other participating dignitaries on such occasions, and assist them and other University members to carry out ceremonial duties.

<p>If you are confident about performing duties in the public eye, have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and are keen to help give contemporary expression to University tradition and statutes, we would love to hear from you.</p><br>
<p>You will need to be able to act decisively and discreetly in high-profile situations, understand the varied needs and expectations of University members and dignitaries, and have a collaborative and co-operative approach to working. You will also have the ability and desire to learn the University’s ceremonial procedures and conventions, so as to guide ceremony participants appropriately, and have a good sense of occasion, ‘stagecraft’ and presentation.</p><br>
