He has also taught at the Oxford and Cambridge Singing School and led workshops on the 8 & 10 part music of Victoria, Guerrero and Vecchi for the North East Early Music Forum.

Since 2019, Caius has been a trustee for Awards for Young Musicians. This charity supports talented young musicians from low-income families, helping them overcome financial and social barriers in their musical journeys. In July 2021, he helped organise the Europa Cantat Festival in Slovenia as a Young Event Manager and has actively played or conducted across Europe. Firstly, on an Erasmus + funded scheme in 2018 - 2019, to conduct choirs in Italy, France, and Poland, then subsequently as a freelance musician in Brazil, Germany, France, and Sweden.

Returning to the Diocese of Leeds in September 2021, he is a Choral Director, helping to deliver the internationally acclaimed Schools' Singing Programme, which works with 6,000 children singing weekly. He is the Musical Director of The Bradford Chorale, Accompanist for The York Musical Society, and a Sing for Pleasure Conducting Scholar. His commitment and passion for providing singing opportunities to disadvantaged areas have recently been recognised with a Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) Fellowship and a recent keynote speech at the 2022 Music Teachers Association Conference. In his spare time, Caius enjoys athletics, having previously represented his county in the national championships and travelling!
