UK Register of Spiritual Caregivers
There is a substantial and growing community of our population that identifies as spiritual-not-religious and requires appropriate support in healthcare, education and other relevant circumstances.
The UKRSC is a register of volunteers and professionals who provide this compassionate care.
Our members are service and community oriented and have a deep respect for all faiths. Our approach is holistic and person-centred.
Our commitment is to:
- Listen with compassion, discretion and respect
- Be calm, centred and kind in challenging circumstances
- Take quiet time for grace, healing and guidance
- Value every individual’s spirituality
- Cooperate with other support agencies
- Respect the unique provision of traditional faith communities
The UK Register of Spiritual Caregivers is hosted by the Spiritual Companions Trust, which administers the Register and maintains its Code of Conduct.
The Register recognises qualifications from caring sectors, including counselling, psychotherapy, nursing, medicine, spiritual healing and our own qualification the Diploma in Practical Spirituality & Wellness. (We require a Level 3 Listening Skills qualification or its equivalent.)
