About the Role

The Spiritual Care and Bereavement Service in Lothian embodies a comprehensive understanding of spiritual and religious care for patients, visitors, staff, and volunteers, regardless of belief or life stance. It forms an integral part of delivering safe, effective, and person-centred care, supporting those who work within and those who access our services, their families, and carers.

The department delivers various services in Lothian, including healthcare chaplaincy, bereavement support, staff support, and community listening. The team aims to progress innovative research and development projects.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Lead and manage the ongoing development of the Spiritual Care and Bereavement Service in line with the deliverables in the Scottish Government national framework on Spiritual Care and the Lothian Spiritual Care Strategic Plan.
  2. Provide strategic direction and robust management in establishing NHS Lothian as a centre for specialist training in spiritual care and bereavement through collaboration with institutions of higher education and NHS Education Scotland.
  3. Hold strategic responsibility for the management, development, and delivery of the Bereavement Service for NHS Lothian, in accordance with Scottish Government Policy.
Requirements

We are seeking a leader with a proven track record in senior chaplaincy leadership, accompanied by experience in providing support and leadership, full registration with the UKBHC, and experience of department administration and budgetary responsibility.

The ideal candidate will possess high-level credibility in spiritual care practice and leadership, excellent interpersonal skills, the ability to think strategically and analytically, good influencing and negotiation skills, and the ability to deliver change in a multiagency environment.

Key to success will be the ability to develop and maintain constructive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, internal and external to NHS Lothian, including working with NHS Education Scotland, HEIs, belief groups, and third-sector agencies.
