Listening and Pastoral Support for Industry - Work Place Chaplaincy Scotland

Listening & Caring in Confidence
"Sometimes staff need an independent, impartial and confidential ear to help them in difficult times or perhaps a little guidance. The Work Place Chaplain is someone who can help support and listen to those who need it and is available to all.” Carole Woods, Edinburgh Park Management Business Park Administrator

“We have found the services carried out by our chaplain to be invaluable...our chaplain has become as close as a family member to the team, and regularly helps us with office charity events and celebrations throughout the year. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Work Place Chaplaincy Scotland, and our chaplain!!" Lindsay Morrison, Marketing Manager, Percepta, Glasgow
Listening & Caring in Confidence
"Having a workplace chaplain provides an external support mechanism to employees who are dealing with life's challenges...The service is an alternative to our Employee Assistance service and the support provided may, on occasion, provide employees with the resilience to stay in the workplace." Angela Scott, Chief Executive, Aberdeen City Council
Listening & Caring in Confidence
“We value our Work Place Chaplain for the support and compassion he provides to members of staff who are often more comfortable speaking in confidence to an individual who is not directly involved with our business...I believe our employees appreciate the presence of a chaplain on site, and that he helps improve the happiness and morale of the workforce.” Elsie Turbyne, Managing Director, Xplore Dundee
Listening & Caring in Confidence
“Our workplace chaplain provides a listening, compassionate ear within the organisation, offering support ...which complements our own in-house services for employees. Local government touches on all aspects of life in Dundee and the chaplain’s own experience and reflections are valued by everyone here in the city.” David R Martin, Chief Executive, Dundee City Council
Listening & Caring in Confidence
“Since the SFRS came into being I have been delighted to witness the benefits to our staff of having WPCS chaplains in our workplaces. In their day to day duties, our crews and station staff often experience very difficult circumstances...it is reassuring to know that our WPCS chaplains are there for us, for as long as it takes.” Pat Watters, Chair of the Board, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS)

We aim to show respect and courtesy at all times and to all people; respecting other people’s freedom within the law to express their beliefs and convictions; learning to understand what others actually believe and value and letting them express this in their own terms…
