Description
An opportunity has arisen to support our patients, visitors and staff within Manchester University NHS Trust.

We have conducted an Equality Impact Assessment and assessed the needs of our patients and there is a requirement to continue to provide for the religious needs primarily of our Muslim patients together with generic support


Please note:

We are recruiting for two Muslim chaplaincy roles: a Jumuah Imam (5 hours) and a more general Muslim Chaplain (7.5hrs).


The post holders will work within the Trust wide Chaplaincy Service and take responsibility for the delivery and provision of highly skilled, compassionate pastoral, spiritual or religious support for patients, carers and staff across the organisation for their own specific faith.

The post holder will be authorised and accredited to practice as a world religion or belief leader and provide effective chaplaincy which demonstrates the values and behaviours identified within the Trusts framework and act as a role model for all staff within the managed Hospital sites.

The post holder will support the Chaplaincy Manager to provide an efficient and effective spiritual care service across the Trust, enhancing the experience of both patients and staff in the delivery of spiritual and religious care.

The post holder will work autonomously within their own religion/faith group within the Chaplaincy role and have freedom top act and decide when it is necessary to refer to the Chaplaincy Manager.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.

If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

Diversity Matters

We're looking forward to hearing from you
