The Workplace Chaplaincy in Derbyshire covers a variety of workplace environments. For each of the sectors with links shown, there are chaplains operating. [See Update 22nd July 2011 for changes to chaplaincy lists, incorporated at that time.] Operating chaplains For alphabetical list of chaplains, click: Alphabetical list of Chaplains For alphabetical list of chaplaincy locations, click: Alphabetical list of Chaplaincy Locations Some chaplains operate individually, others in teams, and others in conjunction with similar persons from other organisations. All sites listed are covered by agreements between WCD and the organisation concerned. See list on left for your chaplaincy of interest. Chaplaincy vacancies - updated September 16th 2011 (and again on November 18th) Are you losing out? - chaplaincy vacancies still 'out there' At next week's Diocese of Derby Clergy Conference, the WCD stall and displays will be there, hoping to attract anyone with love for God and love for people, in the hope that more workplaces can benefit from the presence of a chaplain.
The picture, right, shows the 'spreading out' of chaplaincy work covered by WCD-supported chaplains. This diagram needs updating, as extra chaplaincies have come into being since its creation, but it gives an idea of the sort of thing that goes on. But, there remain many places without a chaplain. So this is a bit of an
appeal. At the Conference, we will offer an up-to-date list of chaplainc [The old Kitchener 'your country needs you' poster - WCD needs your information on vacancies.]

Answer: 1) They all have people work there 2) The people who work there have the same kinds of life issues and events that any of the rest of us have 3) They have no chaplain to talk with! Those of you who do have to access to chaplains will know how important that last point is. Think of your work colleagues and the things they like or need to share with you, and then spare a thought for those with no-one like you, or their local chaplain, to turn to. How will we get the workplaces and their people covered in this way? By praying, and then by wondering who might be called to do it. But watch out - praying such things can be dangerous for your own comfort!

Please let us know the situation on the ground near you. Thanks. Chaplaincy vacancies - updated January 28th 2011 There are currently a number of workplaces where there are vacancies for chaplains. In particular, the Fire Service and the Courts represent new and expanding opportunities.
