School Chaplain

Summer Fields is one of the premier boys’ prep and pre-prep schools in the country, situated in 70 acres of superb grounds in North Oxford. The school has an excellent academic reputation and is extremely well resourced. The beautiful Victorian Chapel sits at the heart of the school, both literally and metaphorically.  

 We are seeking to appoint a School Chaplain, who could be either an ordained minister of the Church of England or a Lay Chaplain, and who will have previously worked either in school chaplaincy or have other relevant experience. The successful candidate will be required to lead the school’s worship and to be a core member of the pastoral team, supporting both the boys and staff across the school. The position of School Chaplain can be combined with an academic teaching role.
