Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Bank Chaplains to join our teams.

Are you looking to step into a challenging role where you can make a real impact on our patients, their loved ones and your colleagues?

Are you interested in working in an acute, mental health or community hospital setting - or would you enjoy the added flexibility of working across two or three different settings?We are seeking appoint suitably qualified experienced individuals with a strong personal spirituality, a commitment to providing support to all regardless of their faith or belief system and a desire to work collaboratively as part of a team.

While still known as 'Chaplaincy' we work on an inclusive model committed to offering high quality pastoral, spiritual and, where appropriate, religious care to patients, visitors and staff of all faiths and of none.

Excellent communication skills and the ability to provide emotional support to people experiencing acute emotional distress is essential.

Experience in pastoral ministry is essential and experience of working with the dying and bereaved and/or those who have experienced foetal loss or still birth is desirable.

Previous experience of working in health care would be advantageous.
