Working closely with school leadership and pastoral teams, alongside parish clergy, volunteers and community partners, the Chaplain will play a key role in sustaining and developing these relationships. They will support the distinctive Christian ethos of our Church of England schools while helping to build stronger connections between schools, families, churches and the wider community.
Alongside their work in schools, the Chaplain will lead and contribute to the parish's established programme of activities for children, young people and families, helping to develop opportunities for community connection, faith exploration and participation in church life.
We are looking for a practising Christian with a strong understanding of the Anglican tradition, good pastoral and interpersonal skills, and a commitment to supporting young people from a wide range of backgrounds. The successful candidate will be comfortable participating in the worshipping life of the parish and working collaboratively with both school and church communities.
