You will normally need a good undergraduate degree or equivalent or substantial experiential learning and demonstrate the ability to study at postgraduate level. You will normally be working as a chaplain or similar in a paid or voluntary capacity for the equivalent of 2 sessions a week for each of the modules. One of your referees will need to be a person with direct experience of your practice, ideally also a chaplain. We will discuss your experience at interview. All applicants will be interviewed in person or over zoom, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and meet one of the teaching team. There are a limited number of opportunities to be based at Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital for the practice element of the course. Email Rev Paul Nash [email protected] if you are interested in this option. If you are offered a place on the course you will need to provide evidence of an current enhanced DBS check. We will accept an enhanced DBS as long as you are signed up to the online update service from the date the DBS was issued. We will need the certificate and you will need to provide access to your online DBS. If you do not have an enhanced DBS and/ or the online update service you can apply through Newman which will be an additional cost to you. If you have any questions regarding entry onto this course please contact Margaret Holland – Chaplain [email protected]
