Providence Hospice of Seattle is actively seeking caring and compassionate people in east King County (Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond) to support terminally ill patients and their families. Volunteers provide companionship, respite for caregivers, and assistance with transportation, errands and housework. If you have a heart for being with people at the end of their lives, then this opportunity may be a match for you.
Note: Because patient and family support volunteers serve patients living in homes and facilities throughout our community, we recommend that volunteers have their own vehicles. (We do attempt to place volunteers with patients who live near them.) However, you are not required to have your own vehicle or provide transportation.
Volunteers offer practical and emotional support to hospice patients and their loved ones. They may provide respite for caregivers, companionship for patients, transportation to appointments, or assistance with errands, household tasks, meal preparation, and yard work.
Volunteers interested in working directly with patients and families must complete our core training and patient care volunteer training. Attendance at all sessions in a training class is required. Our next scheduled training classes are:
Winter Training: Tukwila
- Thursday, February 6 4:30 - 8:30 pm
- Saturday, February 8 9 am - 5 pm
- Thursday, February 13 4:30 - 8:30 pm
- Saturday, February 15 9 am - 5 pm
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, the next step is to complete an online application. Then one of our Volunteer Coordinators will contact you to arrange an in-person interview and answer any questions you have.
For more information, see our website at http://providence.org/hosvolunteer or call (206) 320-4000 or (888) 782-4445 (toll-free) and ask for Volunteer Services.
We look forward to talking with you!
