The Vacancy
Could you offer life-changing spiritual and pastoral care at the heart of a growing regional charity?
Could you inspire our volunteers and Church partners to do the same?
Yes? We want to hear from you.
Chaplaincy at One YMCA is about journeying with people, inspired by the life, example and teaching of Jesus.
For 180 years YMCAs have enabled people to develop their full potential in mind, body and spirit. Inspired by and faithful to our Christian values, we create supportive, inclusive and energising communities, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
This is an exciting time for us in the Christian Mission team at One YMCA as we further expand our Chaplaincy Team. We are planning for growth and strengthening partnerships over the next five years as we grow in line with a vision to help more people in this region live life to the full.
We are looking for someone to deliver exceptional care, model it to others and enable our volunteer Teams and Church partners to thrive in their calling across southwest Herts and Bucks.
We have included our ‘Theory of Change’ for Chaplaincy and a copy of our Church Partners leaflet which gives you a taste of the scale and nature of our work in partnership with others.
We want you to know that it’s important to us that everyone in our team has space to develop their skills, use their gifts and bring their creativity into the care we offer.
With your application we need a supporting statement, outlining:
• How you would help us grow the impact of Chaplaincy across the wide range of One YMCA ministries
• When you have inspired others to offer life-changing care, especially volunteers
• What gifts and skills you would bring to the team
• How you meet the requirements of the person specification
We also want you to know that the role will involve regular evening work, weekend work (including Sunday mornings) and you will need access to a motor vehicle to travel between sites.
The closing date for applications is Friday 5th July with in-person interviews in the Watford area on Wednesday 17th July.
This is a Full Time role.
About Us
One YMCA and its subsidiaries, the Early Childhood Partnership (ECP) and Signpost are on an exciting journey to double our impact by 2025. We are over half way through an exciting new strategy launched in the first hour of the new decade, via email where all staff and volunteers were invited to put themselves forward to apply and attend an intensive, three-day Kickstarter Event.
By the end of these three days, there was a brilliantly multi-faceted set of themes and ideas, which formed the starting point for the rest of the Mission 25 process to build on. The aim of Mission 25 is to give every staff member and volunteer the opportunity to play their part in shaping the strategy to do “more and better, together” so that we double our impact by 2025. We deliver a vast array of services across Herts, Beds and Bucks that reach over 135,000 individuals annually.
