Description

Hospice Patient Volunteer

 

Constellation Health Services’ Hospice program is looking for volunteers to visit patients who have terminal illnesses. Make a difference in your community, be part of the hospice team, and have a flexible volunteer schedule. A few hours a week can make a big difference to someone nearing the end of life!

Volunteers may engage in conversation, read to a patient, look at pictures together, share music or videos on their phones, provide a compassionate presence, or other activities.

Requirements:

  • At least 18 years old.
  • Able to commit for one year to our program.
  • Able to commit to at least 4 hours per week. 
  • Ability to listen deeply, interest in and compassion for others, good boundaries and self-care, and meet people where they’re at in energy and tone. 
  • Online training takes approximately 20 hours and is personally enriching, focusing on personal death awareness and hospice philosophy.
  • No close death in the last year

 

Why Constellation?

  • Family-Centered Culture: At Constellation, we treat our team members like family. We understand that exceptional patient care starts with a happy and supported workforce.
