The Department of Corrections is currently recruiting to fill a Chaplain position. This position is based out of Racine Correctional Institution in Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
Position Summary
Under the general supervision of the Corrections Program Supervisor, the professional DOC Chaplain is responsible for development, administration and oversight of congregate religious programming and spiritual care for persons of all creeds/faiths/religions residing in minimum-, medium-, and maximum-security correctional facilities. Program delivery will be accomplished primarily through recruitment, training, scheduling and supervision of community volunteers to provide direct activities, such as worship services, religious study groups, spiritual care and special events. DOC Chaplains apply principles of pluralism, and ensure all Umbrella Religion Groups (URGs) and individuals are treated fairly and equitably in accommodations and distribution of facility resources.
