This is a Part‑Time position in Nashua, NH, with bilingual Vietnamese required. Hours are generally consistent from week to week, but no guaranteed minimum hours; positional needs will vary depending on Chaplain availability and client requirements.

• Make regular visits to company work sites (usually weekly) to interact with employees and build relationships of trust and friendship motivated by Christian faith.
• Visit employees or immediate family members wherever care can be expressed and help given: hospitals, nursing homes, funeral homes, family residences, or other sites.
• May provide confidential pastoral discussions for problem issues of employees and their immediate family members including, but not limited to family matters, divorce, serious illness, care of aging parents, death and grief recovery, parenting, financial situations that may include debt discussions, budgeting, and other life issues related to financial stress or other personal issues.
