Bristol Hospice is expanding throughout Bristol County and we need kind, compassionate individuals to join our growing team. We rely on volunteers to provide an array of support services to our patients and families. Hospice volunteers gain great personal satisfaction in knowing they made an impact in someone's life.
Volunteers are an integral part of our hospice team. Whether it's providing companionship, offering support to family and caregivers, assisting the office team, or participating in community outreach, the contributions of our volunteers are essential to our hospice program.
If you are majoring in nursing, healthcare or the Social Sciences this is a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow while giving back
