Hospice Chaplain

At Madrona Hospice Care Inc., we've designed a plan of care that will work for you and your family. We understand the importance in providing you the guidance to make those decisions easier and before a time of crisis. That’s why we have a diverse team of experienced professionals to offer a broad range of services.

As a Hospice Chaplain with Madrona Hospice Care, you will provide spiritual care directly and partner with community clergy to ensure every person we serve receives compassionate, personalized support — whatever their faith or tradition.

We value teamwork, empathy, and a commitment to high-quality service, all aimed at putting patients and their families at ease during their transition. If you are passionate about making a positive impact in patients' lives and working in a supportive and family-oriented atmosphere, we encourage you to join us in providing exceptional home hospice care.

Please note that this role is per diem with a rate of $40 - $50 per visit.
