Bank Healthcare Chaplain

Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Our small healthcare Chaplaincy team delivers spiritual care to patients, family and staff of all faith and none. We need to recruit individuals with the flexibility to support us on a Bank basis (we operate our own bank system) to enable annual leave, extra support when pressure is high and ideally some weekday evening cover from home (5pm to 10pm). Ideal candidates will have previous Chaplaincy experience, be familiar with Healthcare, be in good standing with a Faith/Belief group and live within a comfortable distance of the NDDH site.

Main duties of the job

As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients to stay healthy, when they need it most.

Job responsibilities

Our Chaplaincy Team spans across both Eastern and Northern services, and delivers Pastoral and Spiritual care to patients, relatives and staff. We are a small, diverse and mainly part-time team, working to the broad 'CRISPER' model of care.

Working Pattern: This is a Bank role and no fixed pattern is given, but happy to discuss what may be required- and in particular are looking for annual leave support (occasional days) and evening on-call (5-10pm from home).
