Chaplain

Applications are invited for the College Office of Chaplain of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. The appointment is for a maximum of six years, the first year of which will be probationary. We welcome applications covering the range of 0.5-0.75 FTE. It is hoped that the successful appointee will be available to start in April 2025. Alternatively, a September 2025 start date is also possible. Applicants must be an ordained minister of any church which is a full member of the Council of Churches.  

The principal duties of the Chaplain are:

• (a) to conduct regular and special services in the College Chapel;
• (b) to offer pastoral care to all members of the College - students, staff and Fellows. They will be expected to work closely with the Head of Wellbeing in coordination with the Senior Tutor in supporting students facing personal challenges.  The Chaplain needs to respond sympathetically to the intellectual and emotional problems of university students. Sometimes those who are religiously uncommitted will want to discuss personal or other matters with the Chaplain which they would not share with College Tutors or those with personnel responsibilities in the College.  

The closing date for applications is 5pm Wednesday 5 February 2025.
