An enthusiastic Female Muslim Moulana with appropriate experience is required to join an enthusiastic and well-motivated multi-denominational, multi-faith team at Bolton FT Hospital.
We have recently developed a new Faith Facility which includes an expanded Mosque with ablution provision. The department is comprised of both Faith Leaders and voluntary workers and offers opportunities for spiritual care to patients, their relatives, and staff on a Multi-Faith basis while ensuring protected characteristics. It provides a 24-hour ecumenical on-call service on a rota basis. You should have excellent communication skills and be able to work as part of a team.
Experience in hospital/hospice work or counselling would be an advantage, but training and support will be given for successful but less experienced candidates.

2. Supporting staff.
3. Helping with the provision of religious needs in the Muslim Faith.
4. Working with other Faiths.
