Job description

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.

Compensation may vary within the wage range provided based on several factors including but not limited to a candidate's location, experience, education, skills, licensure, certifications and department equity. Gentiva provides associates with a comprehensive benefits and total rewards package, of which base pay is just one piece.
Wage Range - $23.35-27.45/hour
About You
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.
We Offer
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
