This role has been set at Director level within the senior executive team to reflect the centrality of the person and teachings of Jesus Christ within our organisation. We are looking for someone with exceptional creativity and flair, who can take chaplaincy provision, which is already highly developed, to the next level. Our aim is for chaplaincy within our Trust to be recognised nationally as a beacon of best practice and we are particularly keen to hear from colleagues with experience of working at provincial and/or national levels.
Working alongside the Board of Directors, the CEO, the central team and our Headteachers, the Director of Chaplaincy will provide inspirational strategic direction and leadership to ensure that every young person, member of staff and volunteer within our Trust can encounter Christ, know his love for them, be inspired by his life and teachings and share their love for Christ with others.
To be successful in this role you will:
• Be a person of strong faith who witnesses Jesus Christ in every aspect of their personal and professional life and who will exemplify the values and ethos of the Trust in all areas of their work.
• Have a clear, articulate and comprehensive philosophy for Catholic Education and will bring great creativity, energy and expertise to engaging with our parishes and families.
• Have a proven track record of outstanding leadership in school chaplaincy, a Multi-Academy Trust or wider, relevant, diocesan role
• Be an excellent communicator, who can inspire others to be the best they can.
• Have a strong theological background and the ability to inspire children and adults.
• Have highly developed skills to lead organisational change and develop effective partnership working, especially with schools and parishes.
• Will lead a strong and growing team of two Lead Lay Chaplains and 8 Lay Chaplains.
We see all roles in the Trust as opportunities to lead and to learn. This role will be an ideal opportunity for a highly talented and ambitious leader to develop their skills and understanding across all areas of a large Multi-Academy Trust. The successful candidate would be offered a level of support appropriate for their skills and experience, including an effective induction programme (carried out in collaboration with the Diocese of Nottingham) and access to outstanding CPD opportunities via the CMAT’s CPD hub, which supports the development of all colleagues across the Trust.
This is a reserved post which means that applicants must be practising Catholics.

About Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Multi Academy Trust
- Type
- Multi-academy trust
Our Lady of Lourdes CMAT was formed as part of a visionary approach to Catholic education across the Diocese of Nottingham. Originally the Our Lady of Lourdes CMAT brought together the 21 Catholic primary and secondary schools within Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City. Since 1 September 2022, all Lincolnshire Catholic schools have joined the OLoL family making us a Trust of 36 Catholic schools – all benefiting from exceptional opportunities to share best practice and learn from each other.
We are, first and foremost, a CMAT and aim to provide an outstanding faith-based education; we place the life, teachings and person of Jesus Christ at the centre of everything we do. Jesus taught us to put children first:
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14
Our priority is to ensure the very best Catholic education for all young people in our community, whatever their circumstances. We will achieve this together, through a strategic approach to sharing best practice, effective challenge and support from a central standards and performance team and opportunities for high quality Initial Teacher Training and Continuing Professional Development offered by the CMAT’s Training Hub.
