Bedford, Bedford, United Kingdom Bedford School Full time

We are seeking to find a new School Chaplain for January 2025, for a full or part-time role, who will lead the spiritual life of the school and provide pastoral support to everyone within the school community.

A beautiful Chapel and Christian teaching are central to the ethos of Bedford School; the Chaplain will be at the heart of the promotion of our school's Christian values, whilst appealing to a diverse community of day boys and boarders through both curricular and cocurricular avenues.

It is also hoped that the Chaplain will play a wide and deep role in the school, whether that be through a pastoral and cocurricular remit, or a teaching remit, or both. Applications are encouraged from applicants with or without teaching experience; and from applicants who would like to be considered for a full-time or part-time role. Family accommodation is available.

For an informal discussion about the role with Sam Baldock, Acting Head Master, or Luke Rogers, Deputy Head (Academic), please contact Annie Kirkaldy, Head Master's PA on

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Bedford School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply early.

Closing date: Sunday 1 September

Interview dates: to be confirmed

Further details about the role and a link to our recruitment portal, where you can apply using our online application form, can be found on our website:

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Bedford School is part of The Harpur Trust.
