Job overview

Trust Chaplaincy Lead - H7 - Term Time Only - Full Time (37 hours per week)


To deliver the very best possible Catholic education now and for generations to come.

 

This new post is crucial to our delivery of that mission. At the heart of great Catholic education you should always find Christ. Whilst the responsibility for that imperative sits with all leaders, employees, directors, governors and members of our community, the role of Trust Chaplaincy Lead will obviously have a very special contribution to make to our mission.


The Trust Chaplaincy Lead, through his/her work and witness, will contribute to the spiritual and pastoral care of all members of the school community. He/she will have a central role in implementing the vision statement and work with the Headteachers in leading and developing the Catholic life of the school. He/she will nurture the faith formation and liturgical life of the school community. The Chaplain may also work to enhance the Religious Education curriculum where appropriate.

 

The Chaplaincy Trust Lead is a hybrid post. The post holder will be expected to support the delivery of Mission and Chaplaincy as set out below. They will spend half their week as Chaplain and Chaplaincy Lead at St. Mary’s, and the other half of the week will be spent working across the remaining Trust schools.

 

It is essential that this post enriches and enhances beyond the school’s core capacity and is at no time seen as a replacement to that provision. The Directors of the Trust will seek to understand the ways in which this post has:

·        Provided additional opportunities for prayer and liturgy for pupils and staff.

·        Provided additional opportunities to live out the Mission of each school and the Trust as an expression of Catholic life and Catholic Social Teaching.

·        Established the Trust as a place where Mission is lived.


The core purpose of the Trust Chaplaincy lead as witness:

·        Help people to recognise God’s love for them and their need of God

·        Inspire through example

·        Encourage staff and pupils to live the faith by being involved in projects (such as the St Francis of Assisi Award)

·        Assist young people and staff in the effective planning, preparation and execution of the liturgy so that each celebration is a catechetical moment as well as a time of personal encounter with Jesus Christ.


If you are ready for the next challenge in your career and can see yourself joining our Catholic family as our Trust Chaplaincy Lead, then we would welcome your application.

Welcome

St. Mary’s has a strong tradition of providing an authentic education which aims to deliver excellence for every member of our Catholic community. It is our mission to build on that tradition as we develop the school still further over the years ahead.

Our school is built upon an ambitious mission for each and every young person: to fulfil academic potential; to be fully developed in the personal, social and spiritual areas of life; to achieve excellence in every area of life; and to be underpinned by Gospel Values, enabling each person to value individuals and contribute positively to society. We work in partnership with parents and the wider community to ensure that this mission is accomplished in the lives of all our young people, and in so doing, enable those young people to live life to the full.

The aims of the school are:

• the formation of our young people according to Gospel values;
• the fulfilment of the potential of our pupils in all aspects of the curriculum;
• the personal, social and spiritual development of our pupils into responsible, generous and caring members of society;
• the achievement of all these within a culture of respect and appreciation for the worth and contribution of each member of our school and its wider community.

In 1896, five Sisters from the Belgian congregation of St Mary of Namur came to Bishop's Stortford and established a school with just 9 students.  These pioneering Sisters were the first to provide Catholic education for the district, and the school rapidly became a success. Their legacy is St Mary’s Catholic School, and as we look to the future with high expectations for continued success, their vision continues to inspire us. This is expressed in our aspiration towards academic excellence founded on Gospel values. In practical terms this also means the best possible pastoral care and guidance and the challenge and support of a broad range of spiritual opportunities which permeate through all aspects of school life.
