We are currently looking for Volunteers in Taunton and surrounding area to join our team. Imagine being able to provide support and comfort to individuals in your community. our census is growing in your area and we have some awesome patients that need you. Bristol Hospice relies on volunteers to provide an array of support services to our patients and families. Hospice volunteers gain great personal satisfaction in knowing that they made an impact on someone's life. Volunteers help our patients make everyday a better day and give patients a moment of normalcy in the midst of what might otherwise be a very stressful time.
Volunteers are an integral part of our hospice team. Whether it's providing companionship to a patient, offering support to family and caregivers, assisting the office team or participating in community outreach, the contributions of our volunteers are essential to our hospice program.
We have patients residing in the community and in facilities in all areas of Bristol County. We probably can have you visiting with patients in your home town or a town very close by.
