About the role

Illinois Department of Corrections seeks a Chaplain I to oversee spiritual development and full-spectrum religious support for all faiths within a correctional facility. The role emphasizes integrity, equity, and inclusive spiritual growth for detainees and staff. The position requires an MDiv, ordination/licensing, and a minimum of four years of college with seminary study. A pastoral care background and clinical pastoral education are essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
