The Mission of the Clergy Health & Wellbeing Team (CHWB) is to provide a professional and trusted service, supporting the health and wellbeing of clergy in the Nottingham Catholic Diocese, from ordination to their life in retirement.
We now have an exciting opportunity available in our CHWB team!
Do you have experience in professional nursing, social work, as a local authority officer or held a responsible role in a charity, where care and empathy are combined with skills and creativity while utilising IT functions? If so, we would love to hear from you!
Based at: Diocesan Curia Office, Nottingham
Purpose of the role: The Diocese of Nottingham places great importance on the care of priests in their active ministry, in illness and in retirement. The Clergy Health and Well-Being Service led by the Co-ordinator, aims to support priests in ministry and those who have retired to maintain their good health and well-being. We do so by:
• Promoting access to Occupational Health checks for those in active ministry and supporting priests with any treatment outcomes from these checks.
• Supporting those in illness to a full recovery and return to ministry or to transition to a fulfilling retirement.
• Where return to ministry is not possible or when retirement is considered, this service supports priests to access appropriate accommodation and services. In doing so we liaise with diocesan property and finance departments.
• Maintaining and enhancing priests’ standard of living and health & well-being throughout their lives.
• Providing a confidential service respecting each priest’s individual needs and referring on to other specialist services as required.
• Supporting Permanent Deacons, particularly those who have limited or no social support.
• Offering bereavement support and an advisory role for clergy spouses, family members, carers and housekeepers.
• Developing and amending policies to support a framework of health and social care for priests throughout their ministry.
Hours of work: 22.5 hrs over 3 days a week.
