From Judith Roberts (NSM – Assistant Priest at St. Michael’s Barnes and Assistant Chaplain at Kingston Hospital)
The Chaplaincy at Kingston Hospital is looking to recruit further “on call chaplains” who support the Chaplaincy by covering the weekends and overnight on weekdays. At present we have 5 local readers who are on a rota but we need to extend the team. There is training and remuneration for this role. “On call” chaplains usually come from a church background who have significant pastoral experience and theological qualifications.
Alongside this, we are also looking to recruit some more chaplaincy volunteers who support the Chaplaincy by visiting patients on the wards. The Hospital and the Chaplaincy Department provide training for this.
If you would like further information about these roles please e mail me at the Hospital – j.roberts15@nhs.net
