Presbyterian Ladies’ College (PLC) is a leading ELC to Year 12 Christian independent day and boarding school, focusing on the development of the whole person. The College has an outstanding academic tradition, an international outlook and robust pastoral and co-curricular programs.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified individual to take on a pivotal role in ministry leadership at PLC. The Director of Christian Ministries and College Chaplain is a full-time, permanent role.
To be appointed as the College Chaplain, our Constitution requires the successful candidate would be an ordained Presbyterian Minister, alternatively other candidates would be appointed as Director of Christian Ministries.
The incumbent will work closely with the Principal in leading the Christian ethos and supporting the strategic direction of the College. This role combines ministry duties with classroom teaching (indicative 0.4 FTE teaching load) and the Director of Christian Ministries and College Chaplain is expected both to support the College’s mission and the ethos of the Presbyterian Church.
This role offers an opportunity to support, shape and strengthen the Christian faith community of our College through personal example and purposeful leadership.
