Could you be part of something different? We have a rewarding opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference at the Lodging House Mission (LHM360).

The post of Chaplain allows the Church to be actively and visibly involved in the life of LHM360 in a way that is real, relational and consistent.

As a day centre supporting people experiencing homelessness, addiction, mental health challenges and deep social exclusion, the postholder will journey with people who use the service as well as staff and volunteers, offering pastoral care, spiritual conversation and prayer when invited. Alongside this you would strengthen meaningful connections between LHM306 and local churches and faith communities.

It is essential you have the right to work in the UK before applying to work with us. You will be asked to provide proof of your eligibility to work and remain in the UK if you are invited to attend for an interview.

We’re looking for a friendly, motivated person to join our team! You’ll be based across the Fife region, focusing on recruiting local volunteers to become mentors. You’ll do this by engaging with the local community and building great working relationships with local businesses, public services and other organisations.

You’ll work closely with our Partnerships Manager and local teams to engage with local organisations and people to promote the MCR Pathways programme. Your main goal is to find committed volunteers who will mentor a young person at a local school. This means meeting with them for just one hour a week during term time for at least one year.

Key Responsibilities

• Find and recruit new volunteer mentors by connecting with people and groups in local communities
• Attend events (in person and online) to present to and engage with potential volunteers,
• Clearly explain the charity’s work and the great difference it makes for both young people and mentors. You’ll build positive relationships with potential mentors through meetings and presentations.
• Work with the wider MCR Team, schools and partners to make sure our mentor recruitment efforts are right for each local area.
• Help promote MCR Pathways recruitment campaigns across your local area.
• Keep accurate records of all your activities in our system to track our progress.

About You

• You’re great at building positive relationships with both organisations and individual people.
• You are confident in giving engaging presentations about our work to different groups and individuals.
• You can work well on your own and as a vital part of a team.
• You strongly believe in the potential of young people and act as a positive, committed role model.
• You have good knowledge of the local area, including community groups, employers and local organisations.

It would be helpful if you have some experience in mentoring, volunteering or working in the charity sector. Most importantly, you should be a “people person”, open-minded and happy talking to large groups as well as having one-to-one chats.

You will contribute to the design and development of engaging materials—written, visual and digital—that support discipleship and leadership across congregations and presbyteries. You will bring ideas to life through film, scripts, guides and creative digital content, helping ensure that learning is accessible to people wherever they are.

Working collaboratively across the Faith Action Programme, you will contribute to the growth of Church of Scotland Learning on our Circle platform by refreshing existing materials, analysing engagement, and helping to maintain and enhance our Ascend website.
