Volunteer Chaplains

At this time, this role is flexible. You will receive essential training and we will prepare you the very best we can. We will then call upon you when our services require your support the most.

We’re really proud of our dedicated chaplaincy service across all our care homes, and as a volunteer chaplain, your role would be extremely important at this difficult time. We place great importance on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit of those we care for, their families, and our colleagues, of all faiths and beliefs.

This role is about compassion, listening to and supporting people in later life. We’re looking for an empathic and caring person to join our care home teams. 

As part of our dedicated care home team, as a volunteer chaplain you will:

• Be providing one-to-one support, comfort, and a listening ear to our residents and their families, and MHA colleagues.
• Supporting residents and families at the end of life
• Assisting with any religious duties, where appropriate praying with residents, reading scripture, and engaging in conversation

Though previous experience is desirable, the right approach and willingness to undertake full training is far more important to us. You will be part of a team that believes in respecting every resident as a unique individual, treating them with the dignity you would wish for yourself.

Why volunteer for MHA?

We are a charity that inspires the best care and wellbeing at every stage of later life. Each individual that makes up our team is valued and is part of a community that is dedicated to improving the lives of older people.

We are proud to service all our residents with pastoral care through our dedicated chaplaincy service. We place great importance on nurturing the mind, body and spirit of those we care for, their families and our colleagues regardless of faith, background or belief.
