St Catherine’s Church, Littleton, near Winchester is seeking a new Anna Chaplain
(P/T 16 hours per week, 3 years fixed term). Please apply before the middle of November if you are interested.
The advert reads: 'St Catherine’s Church serves a semi-rural population on the edge of Winchester. An important part of that service is our ministry to the older members of our community and their families and carers, including those living and working in the nursing homes situated within the parish. Seeking to develop this ministry further, we appointed our first Anna Chaplain in 2022. The position is now vacant and we are now looking to the appointment of a new part-time, paid Anna Chaplain.
The Anna Chaplaincy is a pioneering role offering spiritual support to older people and their relatives and carers. It supports the wellbeing of people of all faiths or none, and encompasses a wider role within the community as an advocate and champion of the contribution older people make to society. At the same time, it encourages the wider church to celebrate and cherish older members of the congregation, as well as other members of the community.
The successful candidate will work in collaboration with the Rector and Ministry Team as well as the network of Parish Visitors for the parish and the wider Downs Benefice. He or she will also be part of the growing Anna Chaplaincy network, part of The Bible Reading Fellowship (BRF).
It is an occupational requirement for the person appointed to be a professing and practising Christian (Equality Act 2010).
For an application pack please contact: office@downsbenefice.org.uk
To apply, please submit cv and covering letter. Closing date for applications: 18th November 2024.
Interviews to be held on: Wednesday 4th December 2024.'
