About

Unity Hospice is looking for Administrative Volunteers to help support our patients and families behind-the-scenes! These volunteers could perform a variety of roles:

Writing cards to patients and families
Assembling birthday baskets for patient birthdays
Helping to assemble patient intake packets and orientation binders
Making Care Kits for families facing the end of their loved one's life
Organizing supplies for our Veteran's honoring program
Calling patients/families to check in on their med and supply needs
Assisting with other administrative tasks needed in the office

Hospice patients and their families are facing an often difficult end-of-life journey, and our office team is here to support them in whatever way we can! We love our volunteers and the assistance they provide in making sure our families feel cared for. We promise to treat you with the adoration you deserve and ply you with delicious snacks.

Because our volunteers are privy to patient information and spend time with our staff, we do require them to go through an onboarding process that includes fingerprinting, a tb test, a drug test and an orientation.
This role would take place weekly for 1-3 hours depending on your availability, and would be at our office on Cermak & Jefferson. We prefer volunteers who can commit for a minimum of 9 months.
Join us, and become part of the circle of care that surrounds our hospice families!
