Salem, OR 97302
Serenity Hospice relies on volunteer support to provide excellent end-of-life care to each patient and family. By being a hospice volunteer, you can gain great personal satisfaction from knowing that you have made an impact in another person’s life at the time it matters most. Volunteers can work in all phases of hospice, providing clerical and administrative assistance as well as direct patient and family care. Many volunteers are introduced to hospice through the death of a family member or loved one, but others come to gain experience as medical students, help out their community, or simply to lend a hand to someone in need. There are many ways to help! Some volunteer opportunities include: Visiting patients- companionship, doing a puzzle, reading a book, spending time with hospice patients Vigil support- sitting near a patient's bedside as they are passing away Office or administrative work- filing, copying, putting together cards or packets, putting away supplies Supporting family members- helping with light housework or chores, giving a caregiver a break, running an errand Supporting the hospice bereavement team- bereavement cards, bereavement phone calls For more details about our upcoming training and application process, or more insight on what it is like to work in hospice, please contact Rock, our Salem and Eugene Volunteer Coordinator, at rriggs@addus.com and (503) 991-5228, or visit our website https://serenityhospice.org/volunteer/ for more information.

Serenity Hospice's Portland (Oregon) Metro Office is looking for dedicated volunteers to help make weekly phone calls, then enter that information into an online form so our team can respond. Please NOTE: We are in Oregon, so calls must be made on Pacific Time frames. As long as you can accommodate that, it doesn't matter where in the United States you are! We are asking for a minimum time commitment of 1 hour per week for at least 6 months. Once you've completed volunteer onboarding and call-specific training, this volunteer position can be done 100% from the comfort of your home. "Tuck In" calls are typically made on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but can be made starting on Tuesdays if necessary. "Welcome Calls" can be made any day of the week except Sunday, during specific times in the Pacific Time zone. Primary responsibilities are calling patients, their primary caregivers, or facilities for various needs, depending on the kind of calls you make. After each call, you would fill out an online form for every call so we know how to follow up. Skills and qualifications include speaking English fluently and clearly, taking good notes, having a comfort level with basic computer technology, and being able to make the calls on Pacific Time Zone times. Training/orientation would be remote via Teams (we don’t do Zoom) and takes about 8 hours. Orientation occurs during regular business hours (9am-5pm Pacific Time) Monday through Friday (no weekends or after hours). Resources we provide are training and the Volunteer Coordinator being available for questions. You would need to have a computer with a good connection and a phone, but nothing else is required except your dedication and a willingness to serve. This is an important way to support our patients and make a difference in your community!
