Description

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.

THE CANDIDATE MUST MEET ONE OF THE FOLLOWING EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in theology, religion, human services, counseling, psychology, or sociology (or as required by state-specific regulations)
  • Master’s degree in counseling, psychology, theology, or divinity from an accredited college or university (preferred)
  • A minimum of one unit of ACPE-accredited Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE)
    Note: Degrees from accredited institutions are preferred. If a degree is from a non-accredited college or university, AVPO approval is required prior to hire.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

  • Two years of active work in spiritual care ministry/program, one unit of pastoral education (per state requirements, if indicated), and demonstrated ability to work with patients, families, and community spiritual leaders of various denominations/beliefs is required.
  • Three years of active work in hospice spiritual care support and one year of clinical pastoral education is preferred.
