Hospice Chaplain

Gentiva

Hospice Chaplain Opportunity

Territory to include: Campbell, Scott, and Anderson

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.

  • Bachelor's degree in theology, religion, human services, counseling, psychology, or sociology (or as required by state-specific regulations)
