Two Colleges of Durham University are seeking to appoint a joint Chaplain to lead in the provision of pastoral, spiritual and religious support to all members, of all faiths and beliefs. Hatfield College, where the Chaplain will be based, has a Chapel Licensed for Divine Service. Hence, the successful applicant will be required to be licenced by the Bishop of Durham. St Cuthbert’s Society does not have its own chapel, but has had both lay and ordained chaplains in the past.

This is an exciting role based half time at St Michael’s, Old Rossington in a newly established Mission Area of five parishes, and half time with South Yorkshire Police, both serving a diverse socio-economic context. The successful candidate will be a person in priestly orders in the Church of England, who has completed IME2 and will be able to combine both roles with passion and care.

A priest in the liberal catholic tradition with energy, vision and excellent people skills is sought to lead this historic city centre church in fulfilling its aim to be a beacon of faith, hope and love in the heart of the city.

The successful applicant for this new post, will work collaboratively and holistically across all parts of the Diocese, to make ministry and engagement with Children Youth and Families an integral part of Diocesan life for the future. We are looking for a person with a passion for ministry and engagement with Children, Youth and Families who is skilled in collaboration and enabling others.
