Job Description

HonorHealth is a leading nonprofit healthcare system based in Arizona, with a rich history that began in 1927. Over the decades, it has grown to become one of the largest and most respected health systems in the region, renowned for its dedication to providing exceptional care to the communities it serves. The organization's culture is deeply rooted in warmth and neighborly kindness, emphasizing compassionate patient care and a commitment to the health and well-being of people across the greater Phoenix area. HonorHealth is known not only for its state-of-the-art medical facilities but also for its integrated approach to healthcare that values both professional expertise and human connection.

The Chaplain Services Coordinator position at HonorHealth is a vital role within its Chaplaincy Services Department. This role offers an exciting opportunity for professionals who are passionate about providing spiritual and existential support in a healthcare environment. As part of the patient services category and typically scheduled for day shifts, the coordinator will support all hospitals within the system during weekends, holidays, and when colleagues are on paid time off, ensuring continuous spiritual care coverage.

This coordinator role involves the administration, supervision, and coordination of chaplaincy services programs for staff, volunteers, and chaplains in training in the designated area. The Chaplain Services Coordinator serves as a critical resource for patients, families, and staff experiencing spiritual or existential distress related to clinical settings. Duties include performing spiritual assessments, documenting emotional and spiritual interventions, and coordinating spiritual services that align with the policies and procedures of HonorHealth. The role also calls for strong collaboration with local clergy and community religious contacts, acting as a liaison to support the diverse spiritual needs of patients and families.

In addition to direct spiritual care, the Chaplain Services Coordinator is responsible for supervising spiritual services staff and volunteers, addressing any patient or staff complaints related to spiritual care concerns in partnership with supervisors. The position requires a proactive approach to education and professional development in spiritual care, medical ethics, and holistic health. The coordinator may also participate in committees and facilitate spiritual services through multiple media, providing resources to patients, families, and staff.

This role demands a compassionate individual with both a solid educational foundation and practical experience in spiritual care within clinical environments. Candidates are expected to demonstrate a commitment to ongoing learning and professional growth, making this position an excellent match for those looking to develop their career in healthcare chaplaincy while making a meaningful difference in patients' lives and the broader healthcare community.
