    Description

    Vitas is looking for caring individuals to share their voice and time as a Proactive Caller Volunteer to help terminally ill patients and their families.

    If you enjoy talking on the phone and have time to make check-in calls, you may be a perfect fit.

    Our Proactive Volunteers make "check-in" phone calls to our hospice patients and their family members.

    You can work from your dorm room, apartment, home or the Vitas office. This is an opportunity to help our patients and families any day of the week, anytime of the day. You make your own schedule.

    You'll call patients at home, asking how they are doing, checking on needed supplies, listening, and identifying any service concerns.

    Vitas provides free volunteer orientation to help you learn the skills required to be an outstanding volunteer caller.
