PRN Hospice Chaplain

The Lifted Difference

At Lifted Hospice, our mission is simple yet powerful: Helping people live life to the fullest. We serve the communities where we live and work by delivering compassionate, clinically excellent end-of-life care. With a commitment to dignity, comfort, and quality of life, we walk alongside patients and their families—meeting them where they are, when they need it most.

What makes us different is how we show up. We care for patients and families like they're our own—and we support each other the same way. At Lifted Hospice, you'll be part of a culture built on trust, unity, and joy. We serve from a place of favor, and we never forget the sacredness of what we do.

A Calling with Impact

At Lifted Hospice, our Chaplains serve a sacred role—offering spiritual presence, peace, compassion and support when patients and families need it most.

As a Chaplain, you'll provide personalized spiritual care in the patient's home, hospital, or care facility. You'll assess spiritual needs with sensitivity, offer prayer or counseling when invited, and support patients and families from all faiths, cultures, and beliefs. You'll also make reasonable efforts to connect them with local clergy, faith communities, or spiritual leaders upon request.

Your Role in the Mission

As a Chaplain at Lifted Hospice, you carry peace into every room you enter. Whether offering quiet presence or compassionate guidance, you create space for meaning, connection, and dignity—meeting people in moments that matter most.

You help patients feel seen beyond their diagnosis, and you support families as they navigate the unknown. As a vital part of the care team, you remind us that this work is sacred, and that presence, kindness, and faith can anchor and uplift others in life's most meaningful season.

Key Responsibilities Include:

• Assessing spiritual needs – Listening with compassion to understand each patient's and family's beliefs, values, concerns, and spiritual goals during this sacred season.
• Providing spiritual support – Offering prayer, counseling and presence, that bring peace, comfort, and meaning—always honoring personal faith traditions and preferences.
• Collaborating as one team – Participating in IDT meetings, helping shape care plans that reflect the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
• Documenting with purpose – Recording assessments, visits, and interventions clearly and accurately in the clinical record and plan of care, in alignment with regulatory standards.
• Supporting families – Offering grief and anticipatory loss support, helping loved ones process emotions and find hope, meaning, and spiritual connection.
• Extending the circle of care – Coordinating with community clergy and faith groups as appropriate, and helping families access outside spiritual resources when requested.
• Growing in excellence – Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of hospice spiritual care, participating in continuing education, and supporting Lifted's quality improvement efforts.

Skills and Qualifications:

• Master of Divinity (M.Div.) preferred; endorsement or ordination by a recognized faith community strongly encouraged.
• Experience providing spiritual care in hospice, healthcare, or ministry settings (1+ year preferred).
• Grounded and compassionate under pressure—able to offer respectful spiritual care across beliefs and cultures, communicate with clarity in vulnerable moments, and make sound decisions in real time.
• Collaborative and professional—confident working as part of an interdisciplinary team and documenting care clearly and on time.
• Knowledge of local spiritual resources and willingness to coordinate clergy or faith support when requested.
• Valid Texas driver's license, reliable transportation, and current auto liability insurance.

Where You'll Work

In this role, you'll spend most of your time offering spiritual support wherever patients call home—whether that's a private residence, assisted living or memory care community, hospital, or other care setting. Your work will take place both indoors and outdoors, meeting people where they are during one of life's most meaningful seasons.

You'll also connect regularly with your local interdisciplinary team—including nurses, social workers, physicians, fellow chaplains, and our medical director—to align spiritual care with the overall plan of care. During team meetings and collaboration, you'll help ensure every patient and family receives holistic, compassionate support that honors the whole person.
