Chaplaincy roles

Bringing comfort, connection and hope

We know that wellbeing is about more than just physical health. It is about feeling seen, heard and valued for who you are – in mind, body and spirit.

Our chaplains play a vital role in making that happen.

Through one-to-one support, companionship, prayer and pastoral care, they help residents, members, families and colleagues find comfort, meaning and peace – wherever they are on their journey.

When you join our chaplaincy team, you are not just offering faith. You are offering friendship, understanding and a hand to hold when it matters most.
