Hours: Part-time (up to 4 days a week), Term Time only + 2 weeks

Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 FTE, commensurate with experience

Reporting to: Chief Executive Officer

‍

This is an exciting, new role, reserved for a practising Catholic, who is committed to serving the young people and staff entrusted to the care of the Bosco Catholic Education Trust (CET). You will have strategic leadership for Chaplaincy across the Trust, lead the growing team of Lay Chaplains and develop appropriate models for the future as the Trust grows in size.

At present there are 13 schools in the Trust, with a further 5 about to join; eventually becoming a family of 34 schools in the fullness of time. It is imperative, therefore that you grow with the role, demonstrating an ability to lead, build relationships and think strategically about Trust-wide strategies to support the mission of the Church and faith-formation in our schools.

This is initially a part-time post (up to 4 days a week) but would become full-time once the Trust reaches maturity. When not visiting schools, you’d usually be based at the Trust offices at St Paul’s in Burgess Hill. You would work closely with the Trust Board, the CEO, the team of Lay Chaplains and the wider central team.

For Bosco CETs, finding the right person isn’t just about their experience and qualifications: the Trust is are looking for someone who really buys into its ethos and is a great people-person with high levels of emotional intelligence.

The schools in Bosco CET are all vibrant, diverse and welcoming communities. They share a common ethos and expectation; setting high standards and never settling for second-best. Your role as Director of Chaplaincy is at the heart of all the Trust does and cherishes as a Catholic Trust.
