School Chaplain

$94,155 - $133,009 yearly

Job Description

Seeking a Chaplain who believes that schools can be places where young people genuinely encounter hope, meaning and the transforming love of Jesus.....

We are in a season of thoughtful change, grounded in a 107 year history yet ready to ask deeper questions about learning, formation and the kind of young people we are shaping for the world ahead. As our prospectus says, “this is not simply a position to be filled, but an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the life of our school community.”

We are looking for someone who sees chaplaincy not as a program to run, but as a calling to walk with our community. Someone who understands that faith formation is not confined to chapel but is lived in the everyday moments that shape young hearts and minds.

This role sits at the heart of our identity and our future. Chaplaincy at BMGS is not symbolic or peripheral. Chaplaincy is in no way token; it is central to who we are and who we are becoming.

If you find yourself drawn to this role, we would like to honour that. Our prospectus invites you to consider whether your sense of calling might find expression in our community, and we take that seriously. We believe interest in this role often begins in discernment, a sense that God may be opening a door. If that resonates with you, we would welcome the chance to explore it together.

To take the next step, you can:

  • Apply online today with your CV and a brief cover letter outlining why this role speaks to you
  • Request a copy of the Chaplaincy Prospectus for further insight into the role and our community
  • Reach out for a confidential conversation with our Principal, Steven Coote, to explore the role before applying

Whether you are ready to apply or simply want to begin a conversation, we would be glad to connect.
