Hospice Bereavement Support Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Bereavement Volunteers are called and trained to provide outreach to caregivers and family members who have recently experienced the loss of their loved one through death. Outreach involves making phone calls and/or supportive visits to those in grief, whom our hospice follows for at least thirteen months after their loss has occurred. Working closely with the Chaplin & Volunteer Coordinator, volunteers can also assist with a variety of other tasks and projects, including assembly of bereavement mailings and designing and facilitating major events, and participating in community-based programs, such as grief & loss support groups and workshops.

A Background Check, Tuberculosis Testing (TB) and Opportunity-specific training are required for this role and are provided by our hospice agency. We can accommodate your schedule

Bereavement volunteers are very special patient and family volunteers who have taken additional training to enable them to help support individuals in our bereavement program.

This program supports patients and families on hospice plus grief support to anyone in the community, regardless of whether their loved one was on hospice.
