What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appoint a Chaplaincy Co-ordinator to lead and foster worship and spiritual guidance for our young people at different stages of their faith journey.
This is a critically important appointment for the school. This is a ‘whole-school’ role involving all curriculum areas, some work in the local parishes, and with our Primary Schools.
The successful candidate will be a practising Catholic with a sensitive understanding of young people, their families, and of our colleagues in the school.
What the school offers its staff
St Benedict’s is an 11-19 Catholic High School that serves a wide catchment area in West Cumbria.We are a true comprehensive with students of all abilities and diverse backgrounds.
Rated ‘Good with outstanding features’ by Ofsted, we are a larger thanaverage school, housed in modern accommodation with extensive grounds.
Our school is situated on the Cumbrian coast on the edge of the Lake District National Park and not as remote as you might imagine! It is an easy drive or rail journey to work along some of the most scenic routes in the UK and living in Cumbria might be just the lifestyle change to suit you, with relatively low house prices. It really doesn’t rain all the time!
In January 2019 we moved to our new £33m school, which was individually designed (not an ‘off-the-shelf’ model!) and we have state of the art facilities including a full size, floodlit 4G astroturf pitch, sportshall, activity studio, pool, new grass pitches and tennis courts.
