Are you looking for a meaningful way to support hospice care in your community? AccentCare Hospice is seeking dedicated volunteers to assist with FIT testing for our staff, ensuring that caregivers have properly fitting respirator masks to protect themselves and their patients. This volunteer opportunity is available in both our Farmington office location and our Middlebury office location. We are seeking two volunteers for each location to join our crew!
What You'll Do:
- Conduct FIT testing for hospice staff following OSHA guidelines (training will be provided).
- Help ensure that our caregivers can safely provide compassionate end-of-life care.
- Work alongside a caring and dedicated clinical team.
- FIT testing sessions will be held for new employees every monday, while all current employees will have repeat FIT testing one time per year in the month of October.
What we are looking for:
- Volunteers who are comfortable working with healthcare staff and are organized.
- No prior experience required- we will provide a full training!
- Availability for about 1 hour each week on Mondays, plus flexibility to support all staff FIT testing in October.
- Why volunteer with us?
By assisting with FIT testing, you're playing a vital role in keeping our hospice team safe, allowing them to focus on providing comfort and dignity to patients in their final journey. This opportunity would be ideal for nursing/medical students, healthcare workers with additional time available to support their community or an individual looking to gain experiential hours. The additional bonus would be working closely with AccentCare Hospice clinicians in our offices!
