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 🕊️✨.

Can you offer a listening ear and a prayerful heart to someone longing to be heard?💛

We’re seeking a compassionate social volunteer to provide a weekly visit to a lovely lady who would truly appreciate companionship grounded in shared faith. She would enjoy someone who can read scripture passages, or play and sing hymns during your visits.

Your time, your presence, and your voice can bring comfort, connection, and joy to her week. If you feel called to brighten someone’s day with kindness, conversation, and a little music, we’d love to hear from you—your visit could be the blessing she’s been waiting for.

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

You’ll supplement and complement the work of our HammondCare At Home Pastoral Care Coordinator, and under their direction you may:

• Support people to meet their spiritual needs
• Nurture spiritual development

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.

Your impact

Volunteering along side Pastoral Care can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
