Susan Elderfield

Advisor for School and College Chaplaincy

Archdiocese of Southwark

My position is the Advisor for School and College Chaplaincy in the Archdiocese of Southwark. Alongside St Mary’s University I am creating the Chaplaincy and Youth Work Apprenticeship. I also develop resources to support Equality, Diversity and Inclusion for schools.

After my extensive career in teaching, my motivation in faith formation and spiritual accompaniment has inspired the post that I now hold. I have the privilege of supporting Chaplains who believe deeply about their role and responsibility to develop the Catholic life and mission of their schools.

I am married to Javier and we are blessed with five children.
