    Volunteer Application Process for Grand Terrace Hospice

    Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Grand Terrace Hospice. Volunteers play an essential role in providing compassionate care and support to our patients and their families. Our volunteer program is designed to ensure that both volunteers and patients have a positive and fulfilling experience. Below is a step-by-step guide to our volunteer application process.

    1. Initial Inquiry
    • How to Start:
      • If you are interested in volunteering with Grand Terrace Hospice, the first step is to reach out to us through the contact information provided on our website or by calling our volunteer coordinator directly.
      • You can also submit an inquiry online through our volunteer application portal.
    • Response Time:
      • Our volunteer coordinator will respond to your inquiry within 2-3 business days to provide you with further information about our program and next steps.
    1. Volunteer Application Form
    • How to Apply:
      • Complete the volunteer application form. This can be done online through our website or by requesting a paper form from the volunteer coordinator.
      • The application will ask for basic personal information, reasons for wanting to volunteer, availability, and any previous experience in healthcare or caregiving (though experience is not required).
      • You will also need to provide at least two personal or professional references who can speak to your character and ability to volunteer in a healthcare setting.
    • What We Ask:
      • A short essay or written response outlining why you wish to volunteer with our hospice and what you hope to contribute to our patients and their families.
    1. Interview and Orientation
    • Interview Process:
      • After reviewing your application, our volunteer coordinator will contact you to schedule an in-person or virtual interview. During this interview, we will discuss your application in more detail and explore your interests, availability, and how your skills and experiences align with our needs.
      • The interview is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the volunteer role, our hospice services, and the expectations we have for volunteers.
    • Volunteer Orientation:
      • Following the interview, if you are selected to move forward, you will be required to attend a mandatory volunteer orientation session. Orientation typically lasts 1-2 hours and covers important topics, including:
        • Overview of hospice care and our services
        • Confidentiality and patient privacy
        • Volunteer roles and responsibilities
        • Training in providing emotional and spiritual support
        • Safety procedures and protocols
    1. Background Check and Health Screening
    • Background Check:
      • As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe environment for our patients, all volunteers are required to undergo a background check. This process typically includes a criminal history check and may also involve verification of your personal and professional references.
    • Health Screening:
      • Volunteers will also be asked to provide documentation of a recent TB (tuberculosis) test or screening. We want to ensure the health and safety of both our volunteers and patients, especially those with compromised immune systems.
      • Volunteers may also need to complete a brief health questionnaire and provide proof of certain vaccinations (e.g., flu, COVID-19) as required by our organization or regulatory guidelines.
    1. Training
    • Specialized Training:
      • In addition to the orientation, some volunteer roles may require additional training specific to the tasks you will be performing. This training could include:
        • Direct patient care or companionship
        • Bereavement support
        • Administrative tasks (e.g., office assistance, data entry)
        • Hospice-specific protocols
      • Training is usually provided by our hospice staff and may be conducted in person or through online modules.
    1. Volunteering with Grand Terrace Hospice
    • Start Volunteering:
      • After completing orientation, background checks, health screenings, and any necessary training, you will be assigned to a volunteer role that aligns with your interests and availability.
      • You will be introduced to the team and provided with a schedule that works for both you and the hospice.
    • Ongoing Support:
      • Throughout your time as a volunteer, you will receive ongoing support and guidance from our volunteer coordinator. Regular check-ins will ensure you have the resources and support you need.
      • We encourage open communication with staff, and we value your feedback and input on your volunteer experience.
    1. Recognition and Continuing Education
    • Volunteer Recognition:
      • We deeply appreciate the time and effort our volunteers contribute. Throughout the year, we host recognition events and celebrations to acknowledge the dedication of our volunteers.
    • Continuing Education:
      • We offer ongoing training opportunities and workshops to help volunteers enhance their skills and knowledge, ensuring that your experience remains rewarding and meaningful.
