Job description

Job description

Stella Maris is the official maritime charity of the Catholic Church.  We are looking for a Regional Port Chaplain for the West Coast of Scotland 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 Argyll & the Isles, 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.
