Youth Minister

St Catherine’s is a school very proud of its friendly atmosphere, excellent pastoral care and strong academic reputation. Our School Mission captures the spirit of our happy, confident and inclusive community.

We seek to appoint Youth Ministers to complement faith education at St Catherine’s and contribute to our happy, friendly community. The work of our Chaplaincy is thriving, and we are looking for people to work with the Chaplain and other staff to enrich school life for pupils. In seeking the best people for these roles, we are keen to consider the strengths, preferences and experiences of applicants.

This role would suit a practising Catholic or a Christian with a sympathetic view towards the Catholic Faith and teachings of the Catholic Church. Experience in parishes, retreats, youth ministry/events, and/or faith programmes is desirable.

We will provide support (including DBS certification and KCSIE training) along with the assistance of colleagues experienced in working with our pupils, enabling valuable experience, should applicants wish to move into full-time youth work or teaching.

Youth Ministers work with the School Chaplain and other staff to support current programmes and to develop opportunities for pupils and staff to experience and share their faith at school.

If you feel you have the experience, enthusiasm and commitment we are looking for, then we would be delighted to receive an application from you.

Please download the supporting information and return your application form to: recruitment@stcatherineschool.co.uk

Closing date: 9am on Thursday, 26 February 2026.

Interviews will be held in the following week.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, so early application is recommended, and the School reserves the right to appoint prior to the closing date.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Appointment will be subject to a number of safer recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check as part of Keeping Children Safe in Education, and once in post, receive further training and updates.
