Share an Hour of Companionship, Community Pastoral Care Volunteer

HammondCare pastoral care volunteers have an opportunity to support the spiritual and emotional needs of elderly clients living in their home.

As a pastoral care volunteer, you’ll be actively involved with a local Christian church, offering comfort, presence, and hope to those who need it most.

At 100 years of age, this lovely lady continues to live at home and would value the company of a caring pastoral care volunteer. She would enjoy weekly visits filled with conversation, friendship, kindness and spiritual connection.

A gentle presence, a listening ear and time spent together can bring comfort, companionship and meaning to her week.

• Support people to meet their spiritual needs

Skills required for this role:

• High level of interpersonal skills, including strong empathy and listening skills.
  




• Pastoral Care training for example Chaplaincy, Clinical Pastoral Education, or you could attend HammondCare pastoral care training- Spiritual Care Series, in preparation to becoming a pastoral care volunteer.
