Anna Chaplain – Alton, Hampshire

Would you enjoy offering support to older people in the Hampshire market town and surrounding villages, where Anna Chaplaincy began, in a part-time paid post? If so, potential candidates are invited to submit their applications by Friday May 16, 2025.

The Alton Anna Chaplain is a key post in the national Anna Chaplaincy network being developed by BRF Ministries, as the Hampshire market town and surrounding villages are where the story of Anna Chaplaincy started. There is a large team of Anna Friends now volunteering to support the chaplaincy work locally.

This is a paid post, under the auspices of the ecumenical Greater Alton Project (GAP), which was formed in 2009 as a joint initiative between Anglicans and Methodists in the area. You would be part of a growing team as in recent years there has been an emphasis on inviting a number of volunteer Anna Friends – men and women – to work alongside the chaplain.

Alton’s Anna Chaplain to Older People is an ecumenical post promoting the spiritual and emotional welfare of older people, including those living in residential care homes, sheltered housing and the wider community of Alton, Hampshire.

An ability to develop teams of volunteers is sought, as well as leading care home worship and offering pastoral care to people of all faiths and none. It is for 20hrs per week and the salary range is £14-£17 per hour. It is an occupational requirement for the person appointed to be a practising Christian, lay or ordained, in a church affiliated to the Council of Churches in England & Wales.

Closing Date: Friday 16 May, by 5.30pm.
