Salary: £9,865 (£36,283 Full Time Equivalent)
(SFCA support staff point 20)
The College is seeking to appoint a College Community and Spirituality Coordinator (Chaplain) from September 2025.
This role extends the well-established role of College Chaplain, who is an integral member of the Well-Being Team but can act as a confidential support ‘outside’ the system when appropriate.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for building the student and staff community by becoming involved in general College life (e.g. in involvement in extra-curricular activities or in arranging events for staff). An understanding of post-16 education and an appreciation of the interests and concerns of 16-19 year old students is essential.
Notwithstanding the list of key roles, the College is keen to attract applications from people who feel a vocation to this aspect of ministry.
Any lack of particular expertise or experience in one particular aspect of the role will not preclude you from consideration.
