'Spiritual Care Volunteer' in Aged Care, Geebung
About this opportunity
Address: John Wesley Gardens Residential Aged Care Community - 19 Halsmere St, Geebung QLD 4034.
We are looking for caring people who want to make a difference to our community’s seniors, helping them to experience meaning, purpose and hope. Spiritual Care Volunteers contribute to the affirmation of the older person in their life journey, potentially supporting them as they find final meanings in life.
Becoming a Spiritual Care Volunteer with Wesley Mission Queensland involves listening to the ageing members of our community and supporting their experiences of meaning, purpose and connectedness to self, others, our world and the sacred. It may also involve supporting their engagement in church or faith group activities.
Spiritual Care Volunteers work with and are both directed and supported by the Pastoral and Spiritual Care Team within Wesley Mission Queensland. This ecumenical team is committed to a holistic understanding of spirituality as being at the core of who we are, where the physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual aspects of self are connected.
Wesley Mission Queensland operates as a mission of the Uniting Church, but the spiritual care offered within Wesley Mission Queensland is not limited to any one denominational perspective.
Ongoing training modules developed by highly regarded Spiritual Care Education providers will be available for registered Spiritual Care Volunteers.
Aged Care Volunteers do not provide clinical or personal care to the people they visit.
