The Diocese of Sheffield is looking to employ an NMC Registered Nurse in a paid position to lead their new Parish Nursing Service at St John the Baptist Church, Edlington and surrounding area. This innovative service is provided in partnership with Parish Nursing Ministries UK and aims to improve and maintain the wholistic health and wellbeing of local people in Edlington. We're seeking a Parish Nurse who feels called to serve our diverse multicultural community - supporting families, the vulnerable, and those on the margins with compassion and faith, with a focus on mental health.
Could you walk alongside those in need by bringing practical care and spiritual hope to our vibrant, multi-cultural neighbourhood? Then this role is for you.
The parish nurse role includes:
- general health education
- personal health screening, health support and referral
- advocating for individuals and health more widely
- acting as health navigator and resource
- providing spiritual care
- supporting and training volunteers
- liaising with other local services
- supporting the wider health, safety and risk management of the church/organisation and congregation.
Current UK registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) is essential, and support for revalidation can be provided.
The person will be required to undertake formal role preparation and to offer spiritual care and Christian prayer when requested (it is therefore a Genuine Occupational Requirement for the applicant to be a Christian).
This is a post funded by a grant from the National Church currently up to the end of 2028 with the potential for further review to 2031.
