About this role

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 looking for a pastoral care volunteer to visit a gentle, soft-spoken widower once a fortnight. Though in good health, she spends most days alone and deeply values meaningful connection. She loves sharing stories of her life in South Africa, her years of work, and the faith that continues to give her purpose. Crosswords, computer classes, and warm conversation bring her joy.

Your presence could be the highlight of his fortnight - bringing conversation, connection, and spiritual companionship.


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.
