HMP Sudbury is a
category D rehabilitation and resettlement prison, with facilities to hold 600
prisoners who present a low risk and can reasonably be trusted in open
conditions. The prisoners here are offered full-time and part-time
education and evening classes, workshops and a selection of training courses.
They are also given the opportunity for paid and unpaid employment, training
and education in the community. HMP Sudbury is located in Derbyshire, between
Uttoxeter and Derby. We are currently
seeking to recruit a Lay Catholic Chaplain on a ten hours per week sessional
contract. The successful
candidate will be required to be part of an ecumenical, multi-faith chaplaincy
team sharing responsibility for the care and support of prisoners and prison
staff. They will also be expected to take on appropriate generic chaplaincy
duties and when required and ensure that the diverse religious and
spiritual needs of the prison community are met. Applicants will
need to be excellent listeners and communicators, and have a non-judge mental,
calm and confident approach. For information
and to apply, please contact Ahmed Kola at HMP Sudbury (e: ahmed.kola@hmps.gsi.gov.uk;
t: 01283 584088). If you require any further information about Catholic ministry in this
or other prisons, please contact Fr Roger Reader, the Catholic Bishops' Prisons
Adviser at roger.reader@cbcew.org.uk
