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 caring pastoral care volunteer to provide weekly one hour visits with a gentleman who enjoys prayer, praise and worship, as well as a friendly board game. He would value meaningful connection through shared faith, uplifting conversation, and lighthearted moments. Your visits could include prayer, discussing spiritual topics, or playing a game together in a relaxed and welcoming environment. If you feel called to bring encouragement, companionship, and a sense of joy to someone’s week, we’d love to hear from you—your time could make a truly lasting difference.

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.
