We are seeking compassionate and adaptable individuals to join our Chaplaincy Team, providing inclusive pastoral, spiritual and emotional support to people from all faiths, beliefs and backgrounds. You will offer a calm, respectful presence to individuals and their families during times of uncertainty, illness, distress, bereavement or personal transition. The role involves listening without judgement, responding sensitively to expressed needs and helping people access appropriate spiritual, cultural or community support.

Your responsibilities will include visiting and supporting service users, relatives and colleagues; offering prayer, reflection, ritual or religious observance where requested; facilitating access to representatives of different faith traditions; and contributing to a responsive out-of-hours or on-call service, where required. You will maintain accurate, confidential records, communicate effectively with relevant professionals and contribute to multidisciplinary discussions. You may also support memorial services, remembrance activities, staff wellbeing initiatives and the development of resources that promote compassionate, inclusive care.

Applicants should have relevant experience in chaplaincy, pastoral care, spiritual care, counselling, community support or a related setting, together with a good understanding of confidentiality, safeguarding and professional boundaries. A recognised qualification or equivalent experience in theology, religious studies, pastoral care or another relevant discipline would be welcomed. You will need excellent listening and communication skills, emotional resilience, cultural awareness and the ability to work sensitively with people whose beliefs and circumstances differ from your own. The successful candidates will be able to work independently and collaboratively, manage competing priorities and demonstrate a commitment to equality, dignity and person-centred support. Appropriate checks and references will be required.
