Job overview

Grade 6 (£22,328 - £24,469)

 37 Hours per week, 41 weeks

Flexible/Term Time working would be considered.

 Required for September 2023

 The St John Bosco Catholic Multi-Academy are seeking to appoint a Lay Chaplain or Chaplain Assistant for September 2023 to work across our two secondary schools within the multi-academy which are based in Dudley and Wednesbury, Sandwell. 

 Our Mission

We nurture the unique God-given talents of every individual, providing a quality, distinctively Catholic education to our diverse community.

Following the success of our current Lay Chaplain, who is soon to embark on a teacher training course, we wish to continue to inspire and support the spiritual and prayer life of our secondary schools where Christ is always at the centre of all that we say and do.

 The successful candidate will be passionate in communicating and sharing their love of the Lord, whilst working in conjunction with our Chaplains, Senior Leaders, R.E Departments and Student Chaplaincy Teams in both schools. You will also have the exciting opportunity of working with colleagues in our six primary schools. Your working week will be split evenly between the two schools over a two-week period (e.g. 3/2 days & 2/3 days) unless there is a significant event or celebration taking place at a particular school which requires more of your time. Any travel costs between schools during a working day can be claimed and reimbursed.

This role would suit somebody who has a passion for working with children, is ambitious, has good communication skills and who wants to make a difference in Catholic education.

 Further details are available from Miss Laura Bayliss.

About Bishop Milner Catholic College

Bishop Milner Catholic College is a mixed, comprehensive, Catholic secondary school with sixth form situated in Dudley, West Midlands. It is an academy converter linked to a multi-academy trust called the St John Bosco Catholic Academy, which is associated with three Dudley-based Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Birmingham.

A smaller than average secondary school, Bishop Milner provides 800 places for students between the ages of 11 and 18 when fully subscribed.

Bishop Milner opened in September 1960 as the only Catholic secondary school in the Dudley area. It changed its name from Catholic School to Catholic College to reflect its openness to students up to the age of 18.
