Pastoral Support for Clients introduced by GoodOaks Homecare - Bournemouth and Poole

We’re delighted to share that the brilliant team serving Bournemouth and Poole have appointed one of their Visiting Care professionals into a new role as Pastoral Support.

Jemaya Bailey started her new role for the branch team last week and will be focused on helping clients and carers who have faith-based needs connect with their local churches or faith workers.

Jemaya’s role is an important link within the community and she will be responsible for making these connections and supporting the emotional and spiritual needs of the people they care for. If clients can’t leave the house, she will facilitate visits at home to allow for things like prayer and communion.

For many of their clients, accessing faith can be challenging due to factors like conflicting visit and service times, transportation issues, or the need for someone to assist them during services. This becomes especially difficult for those who are housebound, living with dementia, or experiencing sensory loss. Jemaya’s role aims to remove these obstacles, ensuring that everyone who wants to stay connected with their faith has the opportunity to do so.

This is a new and exciting role for Jemaya, and we know that the entire team will be supporting Jemaya along the way.

Registered Manager Rachael Dormer said “We believe that spirituality and faith can play a vital role in emotional well-being, and we are excited to see how this new initiative will positively impact our clients’ lives. Jemaya is passionate about helping others and will be working closely with faith communities to ensure our clients receive the spiritual care they need.
