Further details about the role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, energetic faith leader with a passion for working with children and young people helping them to explore and engage with their faith.
You will work with a lively inclusive family of schools serving the Leicester area, being based at St Paul's Secondary school and working with the existing Chaplain to support the provision there and support four local primary schools in their Chaplaincy provision. The two Lay Chaplains will work together to provide engaging, prayerful, and thought provoking experiences for the young people of our schools and to support the staff in school to be able to do the same. You will work in partnership with your fellow Chaplain, the Trust Lead Lay Chaplain and school leaders to co-ordinate and deliver effective chaplaincy provision across the five schools. The primary schools in question are St Thomas More and Bishop Ellis in Leicester, St Joseph's in Market Harborough and English Martyrs in Oakham.
You will support the Catholic Life and Mission, and the Collective Worship provision of each of the school communities. You will work with and be supported by the Lead Lay Chaplain of the St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Multi-Academy Trust in fulfilling the Trust’s vision for lay chaplaincy provision.
