About The Position

The Chaplain serves as frontline staff fulfilling MCHAP’s mission and Christian ministry, using their gifts and talents to serve company employees and their immediate families. This part-time field role in Provo, Utah, involves approximately 5–10 hours per week. Assigned hours are generally consistent from week to week, but there are no guaranteed minimum hours; scheduling depends on chaplain availability and client requirements.

The role may include confidential pastoral discussions, referrals to specialized assistance, bereavement support, visits to employees or family members in jail, support after layoffs or termination, and assistance during serious injuries, deaths, or other traumatic events.
