School Chaplain required for September 2025
For nearly five centuries, Christ’s Hospital has pioneered social mobility and challenged social inequality to provide an unrivalled start in life for disadvantaged children. As economic and social inequality continue to grow in the UK, Christ’s Hospital’s mission is as relevant today as it was in 1552. Christ’s Hospital is unique. We are strikingly unlike any other independent school in the UK, with a richly diverse pupil body, in terms of ethnicity and socio-economic background and recently won Independent School of the Year 2024-2025. More than 75% of our pupils are on some form of financial support, with a considerable number receiving full bursaries.
We are seeking to appoint a passionate and gifted Anglican priest to deliver the Chaplaincy provision at the school. Christ’s Hospital is a full-boarding community which has Christian principles at its heart and is at the cutting edge of enabling social mobility through transformative education. Over recent years, we have advanced the Chaplaincy, and the successful applicant will continue to work in the areas of bereavement care, outreach and in developing the relationship with EDI at the School.
The successful applicant will lead the chaplaincy, including officiating at services and preaching to a high standard, providing spiritual care and formation, teaching (if qualified and wanting to do so), and participating in the co-curricular life of the School.
The successful candidate may have a background in parish ministry, education, or youth and social work. Their personal qualities, experience, skills, and commitment will be the most important factor in the discernment process. Applicants should evidence in the personal statement how they meet the requirements of the role and person specification. They will be required to start work at end of August 2025 for the commencement of the 2025-26 academic year.
We welcome applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. We consider the most important factor to be the right skills, abilities and attitude for the job which will ultimately improve the well-being and education of the pupils. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
The starting salary will be c £50,000 and accommodation will be available for the proper performance of duties.
