Do you have a heart and gifts to pastor people in a Retirement Living situation?…
We are recruiting for a parish partnership chaplaincy role between Dapto Anglican Church and St Luke’s Anglicare Village, Dapto. This role involves the Chaplain being licensed to the Senior Minister of Dapto Anglican.
The purpose of the Chaplain is to provide spiritual care and Christian Ministry programming to the village community, firstly to residents, as well as their families and the Village staff. This involves leading worship services, Bible studies, visitation and pastoral support to nurture the faith of Christian residents, while also creating opportunities for non-Christians to explore the Christian message.
A healthy and thriving Chaplaincy ministry in the village is achieved through developing individual relationships with each resident and providing care according to their needs and preferences, while building trust and rapport with Village Management and staff.
St Luke’s Village has approximately 50 residents in seniors living and 80 residents in affordable housing. The Village has a newly established Thursday 10am Anglican service, which has an average of 25 residents meeting weekly.
The chaplain to be appointed will ideally be ordained and work well with the Dapto Anglican staff and the other part-time chaplain. They will need to have the ability to relate well to residents and across the different socio-economic demographics found in the Village.
The chaplain to be appointed will be a man who will work collaboratively with the other female Anglicare chaplain in planning and providing a mid-week church service and delivering chaplaincy across the village. He would ideally be ordained, but at least needs to be eligible for licencing by the Sydney Anglican Diocese.
