    Description

    *Volunteer Barber Needed*

    Looking for a way to use your skills to bring comfort and dignity to others? Compassus Hospice is seeking a volunteer barber to provide basic hair care services for patients receiving end-of-life care. A simple haircut or shave can restore confidence, ease discomfort, and create a moment of connection for patients and families.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Provide basic barbering services such as haircuts, trims, beard and mustache grooming, or shaves
    • Visit patients in their homes, assisted living facilities, or nursing facilities
    • Offer compassionate presence and respectful conversation during visits
    • Work with the hospice team to ensure patient needs and safety are always the priority

    Why It Matters:

    For many patients, appearance and self-care remain deeply tied to dignity. Volunteers who bring their barbering skills help patients feel seen, cared for, and valued during a vulnerable time.

    Requirements:

    • Licensed barber or experienced in barbering (proof of licensure may be required for facility visits)
    • Must be at least 18 years old
    • Completion of Compassus hospice volunteer orientation
    • Background check and TB test (provided by Compassus)
    • Respect for confidentiality, boundaries, and patient dignity
