As pilgrims wind their way through Spain while walking or biking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trails, they may reflect on their lives and seek answers to long-held and profound questions. Once they arrive in Santiago de Compostela, they have various needs and appreciate having space and time to think through their journey and talk to others.

Our team is here in Santiago de Compostela, the end of the Camino de Santiago. Through the Pilgrim House Welcome Centre (pilgrimhousesantiago.com) we care for pilgrims in an integrated way so they encounter the tangible love of God. Pilgrims find a place of rest and respite at Pilgrim House, and during their time here we facilitate and encourage deeper engagement with whatever has been stirring during their Camino while offering practical services that are often needed by newly arrived pilgrims.

We are looking for a short-term staff member to serve on regular shifts in Pilgrim House and help meet the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of pilgrims finishing the Camino de Santiago. This position has a minimum time frame of two weeks and a maximum of three months.

We have found that the experience of walking the Camino helps us to connect on a deeper level with those we serve. As such, all volunteers must walk the last 100km/ 62 miles of the Camino in order to serve at Pilgrim House.
