THE hospital chaplaincy in Darlington is looking for recruits to visit patients.
The chaplaincy offers support to staff, visitors, relatives and patients at Darlington Memorial Hospital.
The four chaplains at the hospital are funded by South Durham Health Care NHS Trust and are part of a wider team of ministers who work in the area.
As well as visiting patients and administering the sacraments, the chaplains hold two services a week in the hospital and are available at other times to talk to anyone in need, regardless of their beliefs.
Members of various churches in the Darlington area have also formed visiting teams to contact people in the hospital.
A spokesman for the chaplaincy said: "We have a small ecumenical team of visitors. They have each adopted a ward which they visit on a regular basis. We will be looking for some people to join the team and undertake training this year."
