The Chaplain will be part of the Diocesan Mission and Ministry Team that seeks to support the making of new disciples of all ages in both parish churches and fresh expressions of church. This role will assist in implementing the Diocesan Growing Younger priority within Bury St Edmunds as part of our Diocesan Growing in God strategy.

Proven safeguarding training and/or qualifications are essential in this role, as is the ability to relate to the issues and concerns facing children of secondary school age and a commitment to furthering the goals, vision and values of both the School and the Church of England.

The DBF is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All postholders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.

The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of the whole church. Everyone who participates in the life of the church has a role to play in promoting a Safer Church for all.

Safeguarding is an integral part of the mission and ministry of the church in this diocese and is in line with our Growing in God strategy. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility.
