COLLEGE
Bacon's College has long been an important part of the fabric of the local community in South East London and has served the community in its various forms for over three hundred years.
We are now oversubscribed with first-choice applicants and achieved a 'Good' OFSTED inspection and achieve well above national average results each year.
Bacon's is a thriving Church of England community that is welcoming of students of all faiths and those of none.
Part of our mission statement is that 'students are exhorted to achieve academic and personal excellence'.
We have the highest aspirations for our students, determined that anyone can achieve highly and overcome any barriers that may lie in their path.
Bacon's achievements were recognised by Ofsted in June 2022 when we received a grading of 'Good' overall and in every area.
Our VI form results were excellent with 56% of grades at A*-B, an ALPS score of 3 (top 15% nationally) and an average grade of an A.
THE ROLE
It is within this context that we wish to appoint a Chaplain to work alongside staff and students to maintain, support and enhance the College's distinctive Christian ethos.
The Chaplain will be an ambassador for the Christian faith and exercise a ministry which is pastoral and offers spiritual leadership amongst students and staff of the school, working in close collaboration with the Principal and senior staff.
The Chaplain will be comfortable with the rich heritage of the Anglican tradition and develop this within the school.
They will seek to support and encourage the spiritual lives of those who attend and work at the College and also offer attractive opportunities for others to encounter and explore Christianity and issues of faith.
Respecting those of other faiths and of none, the Chaplain will work closely with appropriate groups and individuals to ensure the effective pastoral care of all staff and students.
The Chaplain will support the school in its outreach in the community, working with vulnerable families, organising the worship and charity events in College and maintaining links with the SDBE, local churches and other community networks.
DIOCESE OF SOUTHWARK
The chaplain will be licensed by the Bishop of Southwark and will be encouraged to play a part in the wider deanery (Bermondsey and Rotherhithe) and diocese and there will be opportunities to minister in local churches.
The diocese is committed to developing links between our schools and churches in supporting the growth of Christian faith and discipleship.
The chaplain will be supported by the local deanery and encouraged to participate as fully as (s)he wishes in the learning and developing opportunities of the diocese.
BACON'S COLLEGE IS COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING AND PROMOTING THE WELFARE OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE AND EXPECTS ALL WHO WORK AT THE SCHOOL TO SHARE THIS COMMITMENT. SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN **ENHANCED DISCLOSURE THROUGH THE DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE (DBS)
