Job offered by: Humanists International

Will you join us in making pastoral care more inclusive and equal? We’re always looking for empathetic individuals with great listening skills to train as

non-religious pastoral support practitioners

and join the Non-Religious Pastoral Support Network (NRPSN), working within Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care teams to provide like-minded support for people in difficult times. Research has shown that despite purporting to support everyone, only 4% of chaplaincy team visits are made to non-religious people. However, 69% of the population think specific non-religious care should be available, and non-religious people have the same need to talk about ‘the big questions’ and receive like-minded support. Our volunteers and paid members work in the NHS, HMPPS, and the armed forces. We have trained more than 300 pastoral carers, and currently have a presence in 9% of prisons and in 30% of NHS Trusts and growing. Upcoming training dates: Swansea – 26 & 27 October 2024 Leicester – 2 & 3 November 2024 (for those seeking paid positions only) After training, if you’re not seeking a paid position, you’ll usually need to be able to commit at least half a day a week to volunteering , and you’ll need some tenacity along with the confidence and interpersonal skills to work with religious colleagues. You’ll be rewarded by being a positive support to people in their hour of need, and by being part of real change in how institutions support non-religious people. Please read the
