    Job Description

    Description

    At Madrona Hospice Care Inc., we've designed a plan of care that will work for you and your family. We understand the importance in providing you the guidance to make those decisions easier and before a time of crisis. That’s why we have a diverse team of experienced professionals to offer a broad range of services.

    As a Hospice Chaplain with Madrona Hospice Care, you will provide spiritual care directly and partner with community clergy to ensure every person we serve receives compassionate, personalized support — whatever their faith or tradition.

    We value teamwork, empathy, and a commitment to high-quality service, all aimed at putting patients and their families at ease during their transition. If you are passionate about making a positive impact in patients' lives and working in a supportive and family-oriented atmosphere, we encourage you to join us in providing exceptional home hospice care.

    Please note that this role is per diem with a rate of $40 - $50 per visit.

    Responsibilities

    • Offer direct spiritual care to patients and their families, and coordinate care with community chaplains and counselors.
    • Complete spiritual assessments and help shape each patient’s individualized plan of care.
    • Serve as a collaborative member of the interdisciplinary team — attending care conferences and offering guidance on spiritual matters.
    • Document your visits and keep records that support quality, compliance, and continuous improvement.
    • Build relationships with local congregations to recruit and support chaplains, counselors, and volunteers.
    • Lead funeral and memorial services for patients when requested, and plan periodic memorials for our staff, volunteers, and community partners.
    • Help supervise spiritual care volunteers assigned to patients and families.


    Requirements
    • A graduate degree from an accredited seminary or school of theology (M.Div., B.D., or equivalent).
    • Experience supporting individuals and families through death and dying.
    • Comfort and genuine openness in interfaith settings — welcoming all lifestyles, cultures, beliefs, and values.
    • A collaborative spirit and the ability to thrive on an interdisciplinary team.
    • Strong connections (or the desire to build them) with community clergy and congregations.
    • Commitment to the hospice philosophy of care.
    • A valid driver’s license and a reliable, insured vehicle.

    Nice to have: Prior hospice experience.
