Job Description

We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Chaplain to join us to provide spiritual, pastoral, and religious care across our Trust.

This rewarding role will offer inclusive support to individuals across a range of mental health and community health settings. You will use skilled pastoral care to support patients, relatives and colleagues experiencing illness, distress, uncertainty, bereavement, or significant life challenges, helping to ensure spiritual needs are recognised as part of a holistic package of care.

The role will involve working with people across inpatient wards, community services and secure or forensic mental health settings. You will need to be confident supporting individuals with complex needs, including those who may be detained under the Mental Health Act, while maintaining compassion, professional boundaries, and a non judgemental approach. You will demonstrate excellent listening skills, the ability to problem solve, work proactively, and show leadership, whilst contributing to service development.

The role covers a wide geographical area, offering variety and the opportunity to make lasting change where no two days are likely to be the same. If you would like to discuss the role, please reach out to our chaplaincy email address on the advert.

Please note, references must include one from an acknowledged religious or spiritual leader.
