Summary

Help us make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses…

At The Myton Hospices, we provide specialist care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses, and their loved ones, from the point of diagnosis to end of life. We are a much-loved and well supported charity, at the heart of our community. We have three hospices, a range of community services, and 25 charity shops in Coventry and Warwickshire.

Join our committed and welcoming team, delivering high-quality, compassionate and professional Spiritual, Pastoral and Religious Care.

You will support patients, carers, staff and volunteers in their spiritual lives in the broadest sense. The focus is on understanding what matters most to people, especially when facing a life-altering illness, dying or death. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary team delivering holistic care.

As a Chaplain and Spiritual Care Practitioner, a typical day might include:

- Supporting patients and families with loss, anticipatory grief, existential concerns and bereavement

- Offering insight and support to colleagues

- Offering, facilitating or partnering in the delivery of spiritual care rites, rituals and practices

- Enabling the marking of appropriate key feasts, festivals and celebrations

You’ll need to be able to commute to Warwick, Coventry and Rugby.

We will carry out an enhanced DBS check including the adults’ barred list because you will be providing holistic palliative care to adults. We will arrange and cover the cost of this check, if you are offered the role.

We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourage everyone to bring their true selves to work. However you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, we welcome you to apply. If there are any adjustments that would help improve your experience with Myton, we encourage you to share this with us.

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and from ethnic minorities, who are currently under-represented in our hospices. We also believe our interview process should be inclusive and transparent. If there is anything missing, or a way we can improve, please do let us know.

Myton is an amazing place to work, where the role every person plays has a positive impact for our patients, living with terminal illnesses, and their families. In recognition of this, we offer a wide range of employee benefits, including:

- Increased employer pension contribution or keep your NHS pension

- 28 days annual leave + bank holidays, increasing with long service

- Additional leave purchasing

- Winter savings scheme

- Discount schemes including Blue Light Card

- Death in service benefit

- Dedicated wellbeing team & mental health first aiders

- Colleague Support Service: Confidential financial, legal & mental health support

- Cycle to work scheme

- Free feminine hygiene products
