Additional Information:
Provision is made for the appointment of a Roman Catholic Chaplain in all Community and Comprehensive Schools with Catholic Patronage. The School Chaplain is appointed by the Board of Management in accordance with procedures outlined for the appointment of a teacher subject to equivalent terms and conditions of appointment. A Contract of Indefinite Duration (CID) is conferred on the Chaplain following the standard probationary year as for a permanent teaching post.
The Chaplain is appointed in addition to the school allocation of wholetime teacher equivalents, and is paid a teacher's salary by the Department of Education and Skills.
School Chaplaincies paid by the State are regarded as teaching posts and those appointed to them should be registered with the Teaching Council as outlined in CL 52/2013. Special provision is made, however, that any school Chaplain currently in employment who cannot gain registration with the Teaching Council is permitted to continue in his or her primary role in pastoral care but is prohibited from teaching. New appointees to Chaplain Posts must be registered teachers.
The Chaplain is required to teach four hours of class instruction per week. Other Chaplaincy duties include visitation of homes, religious services, retreats and celebrations, as well as counselling. The Chaplain is also expected to take an interest in the extra-curricular activities of the school, to encourage young people to be involved in the community, to be available during state examinations and to be in contact with the adult education student body.
Chaplaincy is a full-time job and requires full-time commitment. As a staff member, the Chaplain is expected to share in the corporate responsibility for discipline and good order. In this context, it is reasonable to expect that the Chaplain shares supervisory duties, but it is important that the special role of the Chaplain in developing the spirituality of students and in providing a strong Christian witness is not compromised by too much involvement as a disciplinarian. Please submit the attached application form along with the names of two referees.
Closing date for applications is Tuesday September 21st at 12.00 noon.
Shortlisting will be part of the interview process.
Canvassing will disqualify.
All appointments are subject to the sanction and approval of the Department of Education. Application form available on school website www.scoilmhuireclane.ie
