Volunteers play an important role in offering comfort and companionship, supporting residents’ emotional and spiritual wellbeing during difficult moments. As a volunteer, you'll provide meaningful support that honours the spiritual preferences of older residents in our homes. Our pastoral care service focuses on healing, reconciliation, and nurturing the soul—particularly during times of grief, loss, or personal challenge.
Pastoral care is a vital part of what we do, and we welcome and respect a diversity of religious and spiritual beliefs. Each of our homes is supported by a dedicated Spiritual and Pastoral Care Coordinator who provides guidance to volunteers and oversees that care is delivered with compassion, respect, and sensitivity.
