Hospice Volunteer – Patient Support & Administrative Services

Join our hospice team in delivering compassionate end-of-life care while also supporting the behind-the-scenes operations that make that care possible.

This is a dual-role volunteer opportunity designed for individuals who want to make a meaningful impact both directly with patients and through essential administrative support.

Patient Support Responsibilities (Field-Based):

• Provide companionship (conversation, reading, music, presence)
• Offer emotional support to patients and families
• Provide respite for caregivers
• Assist with light, non-medical support

Administrative Support Responsibilities (Office-Based):

• Assist with filing, data entry, and organizing patient records
• Support volunteer coordination, scheduling, and follow-ups
• Help prepare admission packets, educational materials, and mailings
• Participate in quality improvement or compliance support tasks

Qualifications:

• Compassion, reliability, and emotional resilience
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to maintain strict confidentiality (HIPAA awareness required)
• Comfortable in both patient-facing and office environments
• Completion of hospice volunteer training (provided)
• Background check and TB test required

Ideal Candidate:

This role is best suited for individuals who want a well-rounded healthcare experience—especially those pursuing nursing, healthcare administration, or social services. You must be adaptable: some days require emotional presence with patients; others require precision and focus in the office.

Impact:

You are not just “helping”—you are supporting both the heart and the system of hospice care.
