Full description
Feel called to ministry with older adults?
Providence Place Senior Living is seeking a full-time Chaplain for our Dover campus who will faithfully carry out the mission of our Spiritual Life Services: promoting spiritual well-being through the affirmation of life in relationship with God and people. We take a broad, inclusive approach to spiritual care — honoring each resident's own spirituality and religious tradition, whatever it may be.
What you'll do — across three dimensions of spiritual care:
Pastoral Care
• Provide 1:1 spiritual counseling and keep regular office hours for residents
• Visit residents in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities
• Walk with new residents through the transition into community life
• Facilitate a weekly Grief Support Group and a monthly Celebration of Life honoring residents we've lost
Religious Life & Services
• Lead weekly ecumenical worship services, midweek and Sunday afternoons
• Administer communion and perform full pastoral duties as an ordained chaplain
• Offer Bible study and hymn sings
Spiritual Life Groups
• Lead Circle of Friends groups and a welcome group for new residents
• Build relationships with local clergy and churches as an ecumenical partner
• Support our staff through difficult moments, alongside the wellness team
Schedule
Full-time.
What you bring
• Seminary or college degree in ministry (M.Div. preferred for a lead chaplain role); Bible college degree plus specialized ministry training considered
• Licensed and/or ordained by your faith tradition
• A lived devotional life — prayer, worship, study, fellowship, and service are foundational for you, not just professional
• A proven ecumenical heart: comfortable serving all faiths and partnering across denominations
• Experience with older adults — parish ministry with older congregants, gerontology or dementia coursework, or chaplaincy in assisted living or skilled nursing
• Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) or pastoral counseling training preferred, not required
Pay & benefits
Starting at $22.00/hour, plus full-time benefits: health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with employer match, PTO, your birthday as a holiday, and more.
