The Chaplain & Interfaith Coordinator is responsible for the administration and organisation of the life of the Chapel. The formal duties of the Chaplain are defined by the Statutes of the College. The Chaplain & Interfaith Coordinator "shall conduct such services (being in such form as may from time to time be authorised by the Church of England) as the Governing Body may direct, and shall, subject to the superintendence of the Principal, have oversight of all religious services performed in the College Chapel". The services to be conducted include Holy Communion and Evensong.

There are occasional baptisms, confirmations and weddings in the College Chapel as well as a small number of funerals. The Chaplain & Interfaith Coordinator also organises Memorial Services when these are called for. There are a small number of services for alumni, at reunions ("Gaudies") and on St David's Day.

The College has a reputation for being progressive and friendly and has championed access for students from backgrounds under-represented at Oxford; this continues to be the focus of our Access and Outreach work. We are seeking a Chaplain & Interfaith Coordinator who will combine the best of the breadth of the Anglican tradition with the provision of care for the student body in line with the College's progressive and inclusive ethos.

The postholder will play a key role in promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion at the College and ensuring that Jesus College is a welcoming community. Being open-minded, able to relate to others, and working with and supporting students of all faiths and none form an essential part of the role. Collaborative working with chaplains of all faiths across the University is encouraged, and the Chaplain & Interfaith Coordinator must seek to provide support in fresh and innovative ways for students in the Anglican tradition and those from all other faiths, traditions, and religions.
