School Chaplain (Pay award pending)

The Governors are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced School Chaplain. The school has been designated by the Secretary of State as a school with a religious character. The post therefore requires a practising Catholic who can show by example and from experience that he or she will ensure that the school is distinctively Catholic in all its aspects.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, which aims to offer every pupil the opportunity to maximise their potential. Bellerive builds on past experiences to help all pupils and students to become successful learners and be responsible citizens.

We are rated as a ‘Good’ school by Ofsted (October 2021) and Outstanding in the Section 48 inspection carried out by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Since becoming an Academy in 2012 we have used the independence this has given us to further enhance the learning opportunities for our students.

Our school is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare. The post is subject to all the relevant pre-employment checks set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education, including an enhanced DBS Certificate with a barred-list check and a medical screening questionnaire. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
