Your role
All members of the Air Force are encouraged to practice their religion, and we believe they should be given the opportunity and facilities to do so. As an Air Force Chaplain you will not only look after the spiritual needs of airmen and airwomen serving their country, but as an Officer you’ll also take on an important guidance and mentoring role.
Your ministry will be without borders as you work with a small team of Chaplains providing pastoral support to those engaged in air defence, search and rescue operations and emergency response. The work offers unique challenges and great variety in potentially demanding environments, and no two days will ever be the same.
