This is a post for a Church of England priest which has exciting potential to develop further the place of chaplaincy in the life of the University of Bradford. As well as bringing the best of Church of England expertise in Higher Education chaplaincy, the new chaplain will be responsible for co-ordinating the work of the inter-faith chaplaincy team, which includes Faith Advisors from the main world faiths as well as other Christian denominations.
The new chaplain joins a team of Faith Advisers in the University. The team has an organisational home as part of the Student Support function, working within the Student Life & Wellbeing department under the Head of Student Life alongside the Student Life Manager and other managers within the department (e.g., Disability Manager, Counselling Manager and Mental Health Service Manager) . The role combines typical Anglican University chaplaincy, working with staff and students to offer support and opportunities for prayer, study and worship, as well as being a critical friend to the university, with co-ordinating and overseeing the work of a team of Faith Advisors who provide spiritual support to students and staff and promote the place of faith in this ethnically and culturally diverse university. The new chaplain will help to develop this role further.
