Hospice Volunteers Needed - Trinity Hospice

Are you looking for a way to make a difference in people's lives? Are you looking to meet and interact with interesting people from different walks of life? Are you looking to make meaningful connections? In that case this opportunity could be for you! We are looking for caring and compassionate people to join our hospice volunteer team to make a difference in the lives of our hospice patients. Our hospice service provides care in the Worcester and Metro West areas and we are always in need of volunteers to provide companionship to our patients. Whether you are retired, still in school, working full time or part time we make volunteering easy and flexible to accommodate any schedule. People who want to volunteer for Hospice do not need special talents; they simply need to have the desire to “make a difference in people’s lives”.

Making a Difference

Hospice care is not about giving up … it is about hope for people facing a life-limiting illness – hope of living their lives free from pain, without fear and in the company of family and friends. The emotional and spiritual support that Trinity Hospice provides to patients and their families is greatly enhanced by the help of our volunteers.

Volunteers are an invaluable part of our interdisciplinary team. They demonstrate a deep commitment to the Hospice philosophy and to their desire to help others.

What do Hospice volunteers do? 

Our volunteers assist patients and their families in a variety of ways, including:

• Reading
• Provide emotional support and presence to reduce loneliness
• Sitting quietly with a patient
• Administrative work in the Hospice office
• Assistance with errands, and household chores
• Provide emotional support and presence to reduce isolation and loneliness

The most valuable skill a volunteer has is the ability to be a compassionate presence. Volunteers increase the quality of life by offering emotional support and companionship to patients and their families.

Why volunteer?

Hospice volunteers’ report they are motivated by the desire to give something back and soon find that the spiritual and emotional rewards they receive far outweigh the time and caring they contribute. Volunteers gain satisfaction by making a positive impact on the lives of others.
