Job Details
Graduate, Graduate (Reserve)
Chaplains enter the Navy as ordained ministers of religion from their own denominations. As such they are responsible to their church authorities and remain faithful to their own traditions, whilst working in a team with chaplains from other churches. They seek to minister to all naval members and their families, as they are able. This means serving where the Navy's people are - both at sea and ashore.
In addition to providing worship opportunities and pastoral care, chaplains have character development responsibilities in the training of all personnel.
Chaplains are subject to the same entry requirements as other officer applicants. They also require the endorsement of the appropriate member of the Religious Advisory Committee to the Services.
