College Chaplain

WE ARE SEEKING TO APPOINT A PASSIONATE AND HIGHLY MOTIVATED INDIVIDUAL TO THE CRUCIAL POST OF CHAPLAIN TO BACON’S COLLEGE 

THE ROLE

We wish to appoint a Chaplain to work alongside staff and students to maintain, support and enhance the College's Christian ethos.  The Chaplain will be an ambassador for the Christian faith and exercise a ministry which is pastoral and offers spiritual leadership amongst students and staff of the school, working in close collaboration with the Principal and senior staff. The Chaplain will be an ordained Anglican, comfortable with the rich heritage of the Anglican tradition and committed to develop this within the College.  

They will seek to support and encourage the spiritual lives of those who attend and work at the College and also offer attractive opportunities for others to encounter and explore Christianity and issues of faith. The Chaplain will have a desire and ability to wrestle with the profound questions of life. Respecting those of other faiths and of none, the Chaplain will work closely with appropriate groups and individuals to ensure the effective pastoral care of all staff and students. The Chaplain will support the school in its outreach in the community, working with vulnerable families, organising the worship and charity events in College and maintaining links with the SDBE, local churches and other community networks.

This is an exciting time to join Bacon’s College; if you share our high expectations, are committed to quality pastoral care for all and are passionate about making a difference to the lives of our students and our community, then we look forward to receiving your application.

UNITED LEARNING

Bacon’s College joined United Learning as a new academy in Spring 2018. A large, and growing, group of schools, founded on Christian values, aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England. 

As a Group, we can reward our staff better: with good career opportunities, better pay, benefits, and ultimately, the satisfaction of helping children to succeed. We invest in our staff wellbeing. Our academies each have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.

BACON’S COLLEGE IS COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING AND PROMOTING THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AND EXPECTS ALL WHO WORK AT THE SCHOOL TO SHARE THIS COMMITMENT. SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN ENHANCED DISCLOSURE THROUGH THE DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE (DBS)
