We are seeking to appoint a suitably enthuastic and experienced person to the role of Pastoral Care Chaplain. In this position, you will be responsible for the administration, direction, management and performance of the pastoral care services in delivering a compassionate, professional and spiritual ministry to all patients, family and staff at the Peel Health Campus.
As a Pastoral Care Chaplain, you will support patients, carers and healthcare workers when needed and particularly at times of crisis.

Your professional experience will help you to balance challenging moments with celebrating positive health progress.
Peel Health Campus is a general hospital located in the City of Mandurah, 75 km south of Perth on the doorstep of the south-west, known for its stunning beaches, internationally significant wetlands, and some of Australia's most spectacular waterways for boating, fishing and wildlife. It originally opened in 1988 as the 32-bed Mandurah District Hospital, and now operates with 206 licenced beds, bays and treatment areas. Transitioning the hospital to public hands paves the way for the hospital's redevelopment and service transformation to meet the needs of the Peel-Murray region.
SMHS delivers quality, safe and effective hospital and health services within a catchment area stretching more than 3300 square kilometres across the southern half of Perth.
