Job description

Stella Maris is the official maritime charity of the Catholic Church.  We are looking for a Regional Port Chaplain for the East Englia Ports to support seafarers, fishers and their families.

In this unique and rewarding role, you'll be the welcoming face of Stella Maris in your region, visiting ships, listening to crew members, and offering practical, pastoral and spiritual support to anyone in need, regardless of faith or background.

About the role

No two days are the same.  You might spend the morning visiting ships and listening to crew members' stories, help someone contact their family back home, support a seafarer in crisis, or offer a quiet moment of prayer on deck.

You'll also recruit and support a team of volunteers, work closely with other maritime charities and local partners, and build strong relationships with parishes, dioceses, and port authorities.  You'll be part of a nationwide network of Stella Maris chaplains, supported through regular meetings, retreats and professional development opportunities.

Key responsibilities

• Visit ships regularly to meet seafarers and fishers, responding to their pastoral, practical and spiritual needs.
• Provide practical help such as transport, communication access, and emergency or crisis support.
• Offer spiritual care to Catholic seafarers and facilitate the religious needs of those from other faiths.
• Recruit, train and support Stella Maris volunteers.
• Work collaboratively with other maritime charities.
• Maintain strong relationships with local parishes, the Diocese of East Anglia, and port stakeholders such as the Harbour Master, shipping agents and welfare committees.
• Support local fundraising and awareness initiatives alongside the charity's national team.

About you

You'll be someone who takes joy in helping others.  You don't need maritime experiences, what matters most is your empathy and ability to offer pastoral support in practical ways.

You may come from a background in chaplaincy, parish ministry, community work or social care.  You'll share our commitment to upholding the dignity of every seafarer and fisher.

We’re looking for a Supporter Care Executive to join our team

Salary:  £28,390

Base: Central Edinburgh/hybrid

Hours: Full time and permanent.  35 hours a week (9am-5pm Monday to Friday, with a one-hour lunch break). The office is open 8am - 7pm daily and our hybrid working policy requires all full-time employees to work at least two days a week in the Edinburgh office.

To support the Team’s work-life balance, we work a nine-day fortnight where the charity is closed every second Friday.  

About the role and why we need you

This is more than a customer service role. As part of our sector-leading Supporter Care Team, you’ll be building meaningful relationships with extraordinary people, our supporters, known as Curestarters. Through warm, honest and respectful communication, whether you’re speaking on the phone, replying to an email or writing a letter, you can take pride in making supporters feel valued and connected to Worldwide Cancer Research.

We are looking for someone who is organised, has great attention to detail while being comfortable juggling a variety of tasks, knowing that strong administration is just as important as meaningful conversations. You’re motivated by doing things well, enjoy supporting fundraising activity, and understand that every interaction is an opportunity to strengthen loyalty and trust.

This role also includes administration of gifts supporters leave in their Wills; these tasks need to be handled with care and sensitivity. Prior experience in this area is not required, and full training will be provided.

As the first point of contact for Worldwide Cancer Research, you’ll be a positive ambassador for our Curestarters and our mission. You share our values and are motivated by the chance to play your part in starting new cancer cures.
