About the Opportunity
The Multi Faith Chaplaincy will assist Staffordshire Police in its duty to provide spiritual need to its officers, staff and volunteers. It will provide support and encouragement to all members of the police service, irrespective of whether or not they have a defined religious belief. Multi-Faith Chaplains will seek to be befrienders who are willing to be a safe, secure, listening ear. They will recognise and respect the diverse nature of the police service, offering support and friendship to all irrespective of race, colour, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
As part of the wider community Multi-Faith Chaplains will seek to build bridges of understanding between communities and the police. They may, on occasions, feel the need to articulate concerns raised by the community or challenge views in the community that perceive the police in an unfair light.
