School Lay Chaplain (Part-Time)
Required from September 2026
Farnborough Hill is looking for an exceptional Chaplain who will be a central figure in the life of the School, nurturing faith and Gospel values across the many strands which make up our community.

This is an opportunity to work in a highly-regarded and successful girls' independent school with motivated pupils and a very supportive ethos.
