Could you be our Chair of the Board of Studies?

St Augustine’s College of Theology is looking for a Chair of the Board of Studies –  a role that also makes you a Trustee.

This is your chance to support a welcoming, vibrant theological college where people from all walks of life prepare for ministry, service and theological study.

As Chair, you’ll ensure our programmes remain rigorous, relevant, and responsive to the needs of the Church and wider society. As a Trustee, you’ll help guide the College’s wider strategy and growth as part of the Board of Trustees.

Who are we looking for?

Are you someone who cares about forming thoughtful, faithful leaders for the Church and wider society?

You may have experience in:

  • Theological education
  • Higher education teaching or leadership
  • Ministry or church leadership
  • Academic governance or quality assurance

This role is ideal for someone interested in developing theological education and ministerial formation.

You’ll work with academic staff, trustees and student representatives, so being a good listener, facilitating discussion and building positive relationships is important.
