    Description

    ❤Become a Littleton Area Brighton Hospice Volunteer - Voted Top Place to Work in Denver! ❤

    A hospice volunteer is an individual trained by Brighton Hospice to provide assistance to patients, their families, and their hospice team. No prior medical experience is required.

    As a hospice volunteer, you may assist with patient-related or non-patient related tasks. Our volunteers are empowered to select the roles they wish to fulfill.

    Examples of volunteer tasks:

    • Offer 1:1 companionship to the patient
    • Assist with letter writing or other virtual/remote projects
    • Engage in activities with patients such as reading aloud, playing games, watching shows
    • Offer reiki/aromatherapy to patients
    • Offer music to patients
    • Lead group activities to nursing homes/retirement communities (ex: musical performances)
    • Offer pet therapy (must be trained therapy animals with up to date vaccination records)
    • Assist with clerical task at the office
    • Assist the bereavement coordinator with letters to bereaved families/help coordinate memorials

    Our patients are located throughout the Denver metro area, including Littleton at various care communities and in private homes. We will match and introduce you to a patient in your area.

    Our onboarding process includes comprehensive hospice education and training. We also require a background check, drug screening, and tuberculosis test.

    Consider joining our team of compassionate volunteers making a difference in brightening the lives of our patients!
