Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general health care services, including maternity, palliative care, mental health, drug and alcohol, residential care, community health and state-wide specialist services to people and communities that are diverse in culture, age, socio-economic status, population and health care needs.

The department of Spiritual -pastoral care services sits within the Allied Health directorate within Eastern Health and operates across three acute campuses, a subacute rehab, a palliative and an aged care residential campus.

The role

This role is about helping people to connect with what it is that gives them life, meaning and purpose. Assisting inpatients to connect with what drives their spirit and provides their inner self to flourish and be their best selves. The role represents an opportunity to make it your own. Each time you arrive at work for a shift it will be very busy, different and with plenty of variety. To be successful in this role you need to be self motivated and have experience and qualifications in Spiritual
- Pastoral care. The core component of this role is to be with those patients and/or primary carers or staff who need a compassionate active listening person to assist them in whatever it is they need at that point in time. (Within the spiritual-pastoral context). Individual Spiritual-Pastoral care and emotional well being counselling is a significant component of your work.

You will have highly developed organisational and computer skills and a confident ability to lead ceremonies, memorials, meditation, prayer and rituals as requested and or required.

Working within interdisciplinary health care teams whilst also a sole individual practitioner at your allocated site, can and will be challenging. However, you are supported by a larger organisational wide Eastern Health Spiritual care team of which you are a respected member. Education and daily promotion of the Spiritual -pastoral care service and what can be provided to support patients and health care workers is a major part of your role. Governance, administration and proactively contributing in all meetings is what keeps our patients safe and provides them with better outcomes, this activity will consume some of your time.

Cultural organisational fit is critical to any successful transition into a new position and organisation and critical to a successful future, so speak to one of the current team members and get a feel for the work, the team and the workplace culture - do your research - if you are moved in a positive way have the right skill mix and inner drive to be with people, the hours fit with your lifestyle - then please apply.
