REQ-126474
Interfaith Chaplain Resident (CPE Residency Program) SR12
application Deadline:
08/31/2023
Agency:
Oregon Health Authority
Salary Range:
2823-3546 per month
Interfaith Chaplain Resident (CPE Residency Program) SR12
Job Description:
The Oregon State Hospital currently has multiple openings for our 12-month, accredited Clinical Pastoral (CPE) Residency Program.
If you are a Religious or Spiritual Leader seeking to enhance your ability to minister to others, our program is designed to do just that. This unique opportunity runs from August 14, 2023 until August 14, 2024 and successful applicants will receive salary and benefits. This is a limited duration program. The Oregon State Hospital does not charge tuition for units of CPE and the cost for any educational supplies will be less than $100/unit.
What is CPE?
Clinical Pastoral Education is interfaith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and ministers of all religious/spiritual/humanist traditions (pastors, priests, rabbis, imams and others) into supervised encounter with persons in crisis. Out of an intense involvement with persons in need, as well as the feedback from peers and teachers, students develop new awareness of themselves and the people to whom they minister. From theological/philosophical reflection on specific human situations, they gain a new understanding of ministry. Within the interdisciplinary team process of helping persons, they develop skills in interpersonal and interprofessional relationships.
What is Spiritual/Pastoral Care?
Just as the theory and philosophy behind modern pastoral care are not dependent on any one set of beliefs or traditions, spiritual/pastoral care itself is guided by a broad framework. This involves personal support and outreach and is rooted in a practice of relating with the inner world of individuals from all walks of life.
We encourage you to take the time to visit our website to learn more about the important work we do at Oregon State Hospital https://www.oregon.gov/oha/OSH/Pages/index.aspx
Duties & Responsibilities:
As a Clinical Pastoral Education Resident (limited duration employee) at the Oregon State Hospital, you will provide spiritual care to clients, visitors, and staff; lead spiritual care groups and religious/spiritual services. You will also conduct spiritual assessments and interventions at our Salem campus and/or, potentially, our Junction City campus. You also participate in a yearlong ACPE accredited program with other residents/students to enhance your spiritual and professional development.
*This posting is a full time limited duration position represented by SEIU.

Interfaith Chaplain Resident (CPE Residency Program) SR12
Job Description:
The Oregon State Hospital currently has multiple openings for our 12-month, accredited Clinical Pastoral (CPE) Residency Program.
If you are a Religious or Spiritual Leader seeking to enhance your ability to minister to others, our program is designed to do just that. This unique opportunity runs from August 14, 2023 until August 14, 2024 and successful applicants will receive salary and benefits. This is a limited duration program. The Oregon State Hospital does not charge tuition for units of CPE and the cost for any educational supplies will be less than $100/unit.
What is CPE?
Clinical Pastoral Education is interfaith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and ministers of all religious/spiritual/humanist traditions (pastors, priests, rabbis, imams and others) into supervised encounter with persons in crisis. Out of an intense involvement with persons in need, as well as the feedback from peers and teachers, students develop new awareness of themselves and the people to whom they minister. From theological/philosophical reflection on specific human situations, they gain a new understanding of ministry. Within the interdisciplinary team process of helping persons, they develop skills in interpersonal and interprofessional relationships.
What is Spiritual/Pastoral Care?
Just as the theory and philosophy behind modern pastoral care are not dependent on any one set of beliefs or traditions, spiritual/pastoral care itself is guided by a broad framework. This involves personal support and outreach and is rooted in a practice of relating with the inner world of individuals from all walks of life.
