Job description

Spiritual Care Lead

At Prospect Hospice, we believe that caring for someone at the end of life means caring for the whole person, their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

We are looking for a compassionate and thoughtful Spiritual Care Lead to help ensure that spiritual care remains a central part of the support we offer to patients, families, carers, staff and volunteers.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to deeply meaningful work, supporting people as they reflect on life, relationships, belief, meaning and identity during some of life’s most profound moments.

Hours: 12 hours per week (with flexibility to meet service needs).

The role

Working as part of our Family Support Team and wider multidisciplinary team, you will lead the development of spiritual care across the hospice and provide specialist support to those experiencing spiritual or existential distress.

You will help ensure that spiritual care is inclusive and accessible to people of all faiths, beliefs and life stances, recognising that spirituality is about far more than religion.

The role provides the chance to support peoples’ needs at a crucial time of their life, offering a place to explore their illness and emotional wellbeing, any anxieties and fear, concerns about their family and what the future looks like, focusing on coping strategies which they can use to empower them or bring peace and clarity.

Through your work you will:

  • Offer compassionate spiritual and pastoral support to patients, families and carers
  • Support colleagues in recognising and responding to spiritual needs
  • Contribute to multidisciplinary discussions and care planning
  • Provide opportunities for reflection and support for staff and volunteers
  • Build relationships with local faith leaders and community networks
  • Help shape and develop spiritual care services across the hospice

Your presence and leadership will help create space for reflection, connection, dignity and meaning at the end of life.

About you

You will bring both professional expertise and deep compassion. You will have:

  • A recognised pastoral care, counselling or spiritual care qualification
  • Membership of a relevant professional body (e.g. hospice or healthcare chaplaincy association)
  • Experience supporting people through complex emotional or spiritual distress
  • Strong understanding of diverse faith traditions, beliefs and cultural perspectives
  • Experience working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams
  • Excellent listening, communication and reflective practice skills

Experience within palliative care or healthcare would be beneficial, but most important is your commitment to compassionate, inclusive and person-centred care.

Informal visits or calls are very welcome, please contact Jaqui Gullis, Clinical Lead.

The Family Support team say

  • "We’re a small, supportive team where everyone’s voice matters.  We work with autonomy and are dedicated to creative, person centred care.”
  • “The work is challenging and it can be emotive, but it is deeply rewarding and the team work is strong”.
  • "The leadership is strong and leaders are accessible, engaging and empowering. Clinical supervision and reflective practice is actively enabled”.
  • "We have a strong learning culture and work closely with an experienced multi-disciplinary team. Together, we create meaningful and positive change for the people we support.”

Interviews will commence from Friday 17th April.

We offer a great range of benefits, including:

  • 27 days annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays (rising with length of service)
  • Membership of the NHS pension scheme is available for existing members
  • Generous contributory pension scheme for all other staff
  • Discounts with local retailers, gyms and service providers including Blue Light Discount Card
  • Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing team
  • Supportive induction, training and development
  • A values led, inclusive working environment
  • Free on-site parking
