Anglican Chaplain - HMP Forest Bank

You will engage with residents, particularly focusing on those nearing release, to provide essential faith-based support and facilitate their reintegration into society. Your role will involve conducting interviews, supporting religious practices within the prison, and participating in chaplaincy team meetings. Collaboration with other chaplains and respect for all faiths are key to promoting peace and cooperation. Additionally, you will liaise with faith-based rehabilitation centres to secure appropriate placements for residents and help coordinate their discharge process. By establishing strong links with the local faith community, you will encourage their active involvement in residents' rehabilitation and resettlement.

This is a challenging and rewarding role for someone with the drive and determination to make impactful and lasting impressions on the future of our prisoners. If you are passionate about pastoral care and dedicated to making a meaningful impact, we invite you to apply and help guide our residents towards a positive future.

What we are looking for:

• The candidate must be a committed member or minister of recognised religion.


• Experience of working in a similar role.


• Have the necessary recognition from lead faith authorities.

• Ability to work with clergy and volunteers of different faith backgrounds.


• High level of inter-personal skills including assertiveness and self-motivation.


• Proven experience and skills in pastoral care, including crisis events.
