Casual Pastoral Practitioner
Uniting Mingaletta | Port Macquarie

Make a difference where it matters most.

At Uniting, we believe in love in action – supporting people through all stages of life and helping our communities to be places of connection, compassion and hope.

We’re looking for a Casual Pastoral Practitioner to join our team at Uniting Mingaletta in beautiful Port Macquarie, providing compassionate, person-centred pastoral and spiritual care to residents, families, carers, staff and volunteers.

Mingaletta is a welcoming 110-place aged care home built around a household model of care, where residents are supported to feel at home and maintain a sense of meaning and purpose in their everyday lives. With welcoming gardens, communal spaces, a café, library and chapel, it is a place designed around connection and community. And being just minutes from Port Macquarie’s beaches and town centre, it’s a pretty special place to work too.

This is a role where your presence really matters.

Sometimes it will be about listening to someone who needs to talk. Sometimes it will be sitting quietly alongside someone through a difficult time, offering comfort during grief or illness,



helping someone connect with their faith or simply making sure they feel seen, heard and valued.

You’ll build genuine relationships and provide care that respects each person’s beliefs, culture, identity and life story. Spiritual care is offered to people of all faiths, spiritualities and worldviews, with religious care provided within the Christian tradition in an inclusive and respectful way.

What you’ll bring

You’ll bring experience in pastoral, spiritual, religious, emotional or relational support, along with empathy, compassion and the ability to connect with people experiencing vulnerability, illness, grief or significant life change. Relevant pastoral, theological, ministry or spiritual care study is required, together with CPE or equivalent pastoral formation.

Most importantly, you’ll bring a genuine desire to serve your community and make a positive difference in the lives of others.

If you’re looking for meaningful work where something as easy as your time, your listening and your presence can make someone’s day a little better, we’d love to hear from you.

Join Uniting and put compassion into action.
