What will I be doing?
We are seeking a School Chaplain to join our thriving school community at Sexey’s School. This is an exciting opportunity to offer a prayerful and pastoral presence across the school, supporting students, staff, parents and carers through the many experiences and milestones of school life.
Working closely with the Headteacher, pastoral team, local churches and wider school community, the Chaplain will help to enrich and transform the life of the school through compassionate pastoral care, spiritual support, worship and outreach.
We are looking for someone with an understanding of the Christian faith and its relationship with education, strong pastoral and listening skills, and a genuine desire to work with children and young people. Experience in chaplaincy, spiritual care, collective worship or education are essential.
At Sexey’s, we work together with a determination to be exceptional in all that we do. We are a caring community where pastoral care, faith, compassion and the flourishing of every member of our school community are at the heart of what we do.
If you are excited by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to young people and contribute to the spiritual and pastoral life of our school, we would very much like to hear from you.
