Would you like to part of a successful and expanding Chaplaincy in a distinctive and front-line environment, serving over 10,000 workers? The Diocese of Bath and Wells in partnership with Churches Together in Somerset and EDF Energy seeks a new Lead Chaplain due to the current postholder being offered a new opportunity. You will offer spiritual and pastoral care and articulate a contemporary vision for faith and spirituality within a rapidly growing community on what is the largest construction site in Europe.
We are seeking someone experienced in chaplaincy or church leadership with an understanding of the demands of a modern industrial environment.
Applications are open to lay or ordained candidates. A Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR) exists that the postholder is a practising Christian in good standing with a denomination recognised by Churches Together in England/Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. This post will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
