SouthernCare Hospice is looking for dynamic, compassionate individuals to sit with hospice patients in their private homes for 2-3 hours on occassion in both Mobile and Baldwin Counties. We have a current need for the Fairhope area. By doing so, you will provide much needed relief for the caregiver so that they may run errands, attend doctors appointments or simply to pick up groceries. CPR certification and background check required; No worries, we will supply the CPR class and cover the expense of both the background screening and the CPR class.
