Could you bring faith-filled conversation and heartfelt connection to someone who loves to share his story?

We're seeking a pastoral care volunteer to visit a kind-hearted widower once a fortnight. A strong Christian with a love for meaningful chats, he enjoys discussing his faith, sharing his photography, and showing the travel books and home movies he's created over the years. Though in good health, he's feeling the weight of distance from family and would truly value companionship.

Your visits could offer a meaningful space for connection, reflection, and sharing the journey of faith and life.

You'll support and complement the work of our HammondCare At Home Pastoral Care Coordinator, and under their guidance, you may:

1. Support people to meet their spiritual needs

Skills required for this role:

• Pastoral Care training, such as Chaplaincy, Clinical Pastoral Education, or HammondCare pastoral care training-Spiritual Care Series, in preparation to becoming a pastoral care volunteer.
