Multi-Faith Force Chaplain

North Wales Police are looking to recruit Police Volunteer Chaplains to offer additional support to police officers, staff and their families across the force area.

Chaplains help provide pastoral and spiritual care for the police service in an increasingly challenging time.

The chaplaincy service is there to provide ‘a listening ear’ and support for staff and officers at major incidents as well as routine day to day visits. With officers and staff often having to deal with harrowing incidents and the pressure of making decisions that have a huge impact on people’s lives the chaplaincy is an integral part of the policing family.

Applications are welcomed from both ordained and lay individuals of any gender, faith, or ethnicity in line with our mission to truly reflect the communities we serve.

The primary role of a multi-faith chaplain will be to provide pastoral and spiritual care to all employees of North Wales Police and their families. They will also establish professional relationships and will build links within the operational policing environment.

A multi-faith chaplain should be a good listener who is also able to initiate difficult conversations. They should be compassionate and non-judgemental. They may be required to deal with sensitive situations and should be able to maintain appropriate levels of confidentiality in addition to their duty of care.

You will need a good knowledge of your own faith as well as being able to relate to those of a different faith or of no faith at all in order to be able to provide a multi-faith pastoral service to our diverse officers and staff.
