Chaplaincy Placement Student

We are seeking a Chaplain placement student to work within our thriving school community, as part of a formation programme supported by the Diocese of Bath & Wells.

This placement provides the opportunity to be embedded in the pastoral and spiritual life of a school, while undertaking structured theological reflection and vocational development.

• Be a visible pastoral presence within the school community
• Support acts of worship and spiritual life
• Engage with pupils of all faiths and none
• Assist in chaplaincy initiatives (which may include sport, arts, music, boarding life, or outreach)
• Participate in reflective supervision and a training programme alongside other placement students to support you in your formation.

You will remain registered as a full-time student with your university for the duration of the placement year (the Student Loans Company have confirmed that, as these are placements in a care setting, students will be able to apply for full maintenance support for the duration of the year). This role may be ideal for a candidate who is looking to develop a career in education or experience the rewards of working with young people.
