Nurturing spirit, creativity, and connection from Kindergarten to Year 12.

About Us

Bishop Druitt College is a vibrant, faith-inspired K-12 Anglican school nestled on the beautiful Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Founded on the values of faith, learning, and community, we maintain a strong Anglican foundation while welcoming families from all faith and cultural backgrounds.

At Bishop Druitt College, we seek to nurture the whole person mind, body, and spirit, and to create a community where every individual feels seen, valued, and supported.

We are now seeking an Assistant Chaplain to join our Chaplaincy team in a part-time capacity (24 hours per week) for the 2026 academic year. Working alongside our full-time School Chaplain, you will help nurture the spiritual and pastoral life of our community offering care, hope, and inspiration to students, staff, and families.

The Role

This role provides a unique opportunity to walk alongside our students, staff, and families offering care, comfort, and encouragement in the rhythms of daily life and in times of need.

Working in close partnership with our Chaplain, Director of Wellbeing, and pastoral care teams, you will:

• Support the planning and delivery of creative, meaningful worship for chapel services and significant school events.
• Assist in the pastoral care of students, families, and staff.
• Contribute to the teaching of Religious Education across K-12, including the use of the Godly Play model in the primary years.
• Help foster an environment where faith, hope, and compassion are at the heart of our shared journey.

About You

You are someone who brings warmth, authenticity, and a deep sense of faith to your work. Your ability to build relationships based on trust, empathy, and respect will be central to your ministry.

You will bring:

• A mature and living Christian faith, grounded in the Anglican tradition.
• Strong pastoral and communication skills, with the ability to support others with care and discretion.
• A collaborative spirit and openness to working across all areas of our K-12 community.
• Technological literacy and the flexibility to engage creatively in worship and learning.

You will hold:

• A degree in Theology (for ordained chaplains) or a qualification recognised at the Bishop's discretion (for lay chaplains).
• The ability to meet all requirements for a licence from the Bishop.
• A current NSW Working with Children Check.

Experience in Religious Education is desirable but not essential

What We Offer

At Bishop Druitt College, ministry is lived in colour surrounded by music, creativity, laughter, and love. You will be joining a faith community that values depth of spirit, professional excellence, and wholehearted care.

• Ordained Chaplains receive remuneration equivalent to a Rector's stipend and allowances within the Diocese of Grafton.
• Lay Chaplains receive competitive remuneration aligned with experience and qualifications.
• You'll enjoy a warm, collegial environment, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to make a lasting impact on the spiritual and creative life of our school.
