Assist Brighton's support team as they provide bereavement services to the families who have lost a loved one in our hospice program.
A hospice grief support volunteer sends mailings and provides telephone support to caregivers of those who have passed away in our hospice program. Callers will contact people at 1-2 months and 11-13 months following the death to offer a listening ear and to see if further follow-up is needed from our staff.
Training is provided. Calls can be made from the comfort of your own home on your own schedule!
Ideal candidates have:
- A clear, pleasant phone voice
- An ability to listen with compassion
- Willingness to use our computer program to retrieve/log call information
- Strong organizational skills and dependability
Time commitment once trained varies, on average 2-4 hours/month
If you are interested in sharing your gift of time with our patients, please reach out and a Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch to discuss the volunteer opportunities available in your area in more detail. You can also find us on the web at www.brightonhospice.com.
