Gentiva Hospice is looking for compassionate hearts to serve as grief/caregiver support volunteers for our bereaved and those family that have gone through the experience with hospice (no medical work experience necessary - we will train you). Our grief/caregiver support volunteers can serve in a wide array of ways such as:
- Assist with leading/facilitating grief/bereavement/caregiver support groups for the bereaved that have gone through the hospice of experience.
- Assist with preparation and planning of grief/bereavement/caregiver support groups.
- Assist with planning, preparation, and execution of hospice memorial/vigil services through the year.
- Writing sympathy/spiritual encouragement cards to the bereaved.
- Assist with assembling and distributing grief and bereavement support resources to bereaved family members.
- Prepare meals to be delivered to the bereaved.
Potential volunteers must complete a background check, drug screening, and a Tuberculosis Skin Test (all provided and paid for by Gentiva). We also provide training for volunteers to ensure that they are prepared for their role.
We have no set schedules or shifts. Our volunteers are able to volunteer for whatever works for their schedule. We can even have volunteers on weekends.
