An opportunity has arisen for a new and exciting post within the St Cuthbert’s Roman Catholic Academy Trust.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this post will play a key role in supporting the Bishop’s Vision:

“To make Christ known and loved through the provision of excellent Catholic education and schools intent on finding Christ in their daily lives and sharing that encounter with others.”

The successful applicant for the Director of Chaplaincy role will unite our understanding of chaplaincy and inspire the practice of chaplaincy within the central team and across the trust.
Our vision for chaplaincy mirrors that of the Diocese of Middlesbrough, providing focus, direction and inspiration for the whole trust and school communities so that all they do, say and are, continually points to the truth revealed in the person of Jesus Christ.
While we accept that this isn’t the work of a single person, but the work of every person undertaking the trust’s mission, we are looking for an inspirational practising Catholic to help us make this a reality. You will have a team of Chaplains to support you in your work and the chance to set the trust’s strategic direction.
Your charisms, talents and passions will be a hugely important part of your daily contact with young people and adults, sharing your experience of the Catholic faith.
Along with your team, you will have the opportunity to shape and mould collaborative ministry so that you reach every aspect of trust and school life ensuring that Christ is at the centre.
Are you the person that can ensure that chaplaincy is the engine room behind our Catholic life? Can you help to build a culture of encounter which will unite our trust’s purpose?
Please do not hesitate to get in touch by contacting Naomi Bedworth at NBedworth@smchull.org who will put you in touch with our CEO, Rachel McEvoy for an informal conversation.
The application and job description can be found on our website scrcat.org/vacancies.
Completed forms should be sent via email to nbedworth@smchull.org

The trust offers:

A strong, supportive ethos.
Happy, enthusiastic and friendly pupils.
Highly experienced and talented colleagues.
Excellent professional development and progression opportunities across our 15 schools and sixth form.
Supportive trust board, local governors and parents.
