About
you

Would you like to make a positive
contribution to benefit older people?



Spiritual well-being $u rather than
religious affiliation or belief $u as a universal need is a
cornerstone of MHA&s positive approach to ageing and we aim
to provide the highest quality care and support for older people
of all faiths and beliefs.



We are looking for a person to be
responsible for the spiritual, religious and pastoral life of the
home/scheme and who will build good working relationships with
local faith communities. A significant proportion of our
residents participate in the regular Christian worship that is
part of the life of all our homes and schemes, so alongside an
inclusive approach to spirituality, we need a Chaplain who is
able to lead Christian worship. We are therefore looking for a
person who is in good standing with their Christian community1 (a
lay person or an ordained minister).



An empathetic understanding of spiritual
aspects of ageing and dementia, demonstrated through experience
of providing pastoral care and, ideally, leading services, is
essential.



1In accordance with the Equality Act 2010:
Schedule 9, Part 1, there is an Occupational Requirement for the
post holder to be a practising Christian.
