Chaplain

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board  is looking to recruit a full-time chaplain to join our existing team.

Hospital chaplaincy is often challenging, but also immensely rewarding, having a unique role supporting, listening to, and journeying with patients during their time in hospital.

Traditionally chaplains were from faith communities, but in a changing world, it is important to recognise that people of faith and no faith, equally need care, kindness and support whilst facing the uncertainty of hospitalisation.

Gentle and attentive pastoral care and listening underpins all everyday duties of the chaplain.

Where a patient has an expressed belief, faith or set of values reflecting their understanding or culture, the chaplain will either directly provide care or facilitate that care in agreement with the patient.

Whilst patients are the main focus of chaplaincy care, we also support our colleagues and all staff within the Health Board.  This support takes a variety of different forms including one to one pastoral counselling as well as group activities such as well-being events.

Chaplains are recognised as specialists in spiritual care in its widest context and as such should be a resource to staff as they plan care for patients of different cultures, beliefs and faith.

This post is open to any candidate who is appropriately qualified and trained to work in the field of chaplaincy.
