School Chaplain

The Bridge Youth Project

Salisbury, United Kingdom
FTE: £25,500-26,953
22-38 hours per week
Posted today
Closes: 29 Jun 2026

We are a Christian Charity that place Chaplains in schools across the Diocese of Salisbury. Most of our schools are in and around the city of Salisbury itself, but we have Chaplains in Devizes, Calne and Royal Wootton Bassett to the north of Wiltshire and Blandford to the south and west. At The Bridge Youth Project, we believe school chaplains play a vital – and often missing – role in the life of a school community. Our Chaplains are a trusted, consistent, interruptible Christian presence in school, offering pastoral care, spiritual support and advocacy for pupils, staff and families. They help bridge the gap between school and church, offering support not just to students, but also to staff and parents alike. Our unique model of Chaplaincy is built around a framework of Faith (Spirituality), Hope (Wellbeing), and Love (Advocacy), ensuring our work is holistic, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the Christian faith. Every school we serve represents a unique opportunity to be a listening presence and a source of light in that community. We are looking to appoint several Chaplains: one based in two schools, one in Royal Wootton Bassett and one in Calne and others based in and around Salisbury in schools TBC. The north Wiltshire based Chaplain is for a 3 day a week role (one day in each of the schools and third day in training and preparation time - always on a Monday). The Salisbury based Chaplain roles can be between 3 and 5 days depending on the number of schools and the availability of the successful candidates. Again a preparation day on Monday is part of the role. All Chaplain roles are paid during School term time only (40 weeks per year).
