The UKBHC has a number of exciting opportunities for four volunteer Directors to join our Board.   

The primary aim of the Board is the safety and wellbeing of the public, which it achieves by setting high standards for the professional practice of healthcare chaplains as a Professional Standards Authority accredited register. UKBHC holds a register of healthcare chaplains who have fulfilled its criteria for admission as registrants, as well as members who do not yet meet these criteria and who are committed to a high professional standard for healthcare chaplaincy working within the code of conduct. 

Chaplains and Spiritual Care professionals come from many different traditions and belief groups, including non-religious beliefs, and are united by their common focus on the individual and their own values, beliefs and ways of making meaning during the challenges life can throw our way.   

The work Chaplains and Spiritual Care professionals do is very important to patients, family members and to healthcare staff.  The Board is proud to support these dedicated professionals.  One of our outgoing Directors said recently, ”I’ve found it very rewarding to work with such a diverse, dedicated and caring group of people who all share a commitment to raising the profile of Chaplaincy in healthcare and sustaining standards.” 

To reflect this diversity, we are actively seeking to recruit Directors from as wide a variety of cultural backgrounds and faith traditions as possible.  We welcome and encourage applications from all faith traditions, including those from people with a non-religious worldview.
