Familiarity with crisis intervention tools, confidentiality protocols, and digital communication platforms is also valuable.

What is a per diem sports chaplain?

Per Diem Sports Chaplains are spiritual care professionals who provide on-call or temporary chaplaincy services to athletes, coaches, and sports teams. They typically work on an as-needed basis, offering support during specific events, games, or seasons rather than holding a permanent, full-time position with a team. Their responsibilities can include leading prayers, offering counseling, supporting team members during crises, and helping foster a positive, ethical team environment. Per Diem chaplains often serve multiple teams or organizations and may be called upon for special occasions or when regular chaplains are unavailable.

What is the difference between Per Diem Sports Chaplain vs Sports Counselor?

Per Diem Sports Chaplains primarily provide spiritual support and counseling at sporting events, often on a temporary basis, while Sports Counselors focus on mental health and emotional well-being, typically in clinical or educational settings. Both roles require counseling skills but differ in credentials and work environments.

How does a per diem sports chaplain typically integrate with athletic teams and coaching staff?

A Per Diem Sports Chaplain often works on an as-needed basis, providing spiritual and emotional support to athletes and staff. They collaborate closely with coaching staff to ensure their presence complements team routines and events, such as games, practices, or critical meetings. Building trust is key, as chaplains must respect team culture and confidentiality while offering guidance and crisis support when required. Their flexible schedule allows them to respond to both planned and emergent needs, making effective communication and adaptability essential in this dynamic environment.

Job 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 Per Diem 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.


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)
  • 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.


Benefits for All Associates (Full-Time, Part-Time & Per Diem):

  • Competitive Pay
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Career Advancement Opportunities
  • National & Local Recognition Programs
  • Teammate Assistance Fund

Additional Full-Time Benefits:

  • Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • Mileage Reimbursement or Fleet Vehicle Program
  • Generous Paid Time Off + 7 Paid Holidays
  • Wellness Programs (Telemedicine, Diabetes Management, Joint & Spine Concierge Care)
  • Education Support & Tuition Assistance (ASN to BSN, BSN to MSN)
  • Free Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
  • Company-paid Life & Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • Voluntary Benefits (Pet, Critical Illness, Accident, LTC)
