Hospice Chaplain

Overview

Provide Peace. Offer Support. Honor Lives.

We believe every patient deserves dignity, peace, and connection-no matter where they are on life's journey. Our Hospice Chaplains offer more than prayers and presence; they bring comfort, guidance, and meaning when it's needed most.

We're looking for a compassionate Hospice Chaplain to provide non-denominational spiritual and emotional support to patients and families facing end-of-life care. As a valued member of our interdisciplinary team, you'll help ensure that no one walks this path alone.

What You'll Do as a Hospice Chaplain:

• Provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, families, and caregivers in alignment with their beliefs and values.

• Offer non-denominational, inclusive care that respects all faiths, spiritual traditions, and cultural backgrounds.

• Serve as an integral member of the interdisciplinary team, participating in patient care conferences and collaborating with nurses, social workers, aides, and medical staff.

• Assess spiritual needs of patients and families and develop individualized spiritual care plans.

• Conduct visits, prayers, blessings, and rituals as appropriate and requested by the patient or family.

• Assist families during times of grief, loss, or transition, and provide bereavement support and counseling.

• Build relationships with local faith leaders and community resources to support patients' and families' unique spiritual needs.

• Maintain timely and accurate documentation of spiritual assessments, interventions, and outcomes.
