Use your compassion and talents to make a DIFFERENCE!

Circle of Care Volunteers call home care patients or their caregivers each week to check on their needs prior to the weekend. Volunteers follow a phone script, assisting them to identify patient needs such as medication refills, supplies, or equipment that need to be addressed.

As a Circle of Care Volunteer, you'll contribute to a collaborative, proactive approach in caring for terminally ill patients and their families. After training and education, the calls may be made from your home or your local AccentCare(r)office.

Qualifying applicants are U.S. Citizens that are 15 years of age or older and able to pass a health screen, background check, and drug test.

Notice: Our volunteer opportunities require in-person completion of some hiring modules and training during the onboarding process. Applicants should consider this requirement upon application and be able to accommodate.

Other Volunteer Opportunities include:

  • Direct Patient Care
  • Bereavement Support (Remote)
  • Caregiver Relief
  • Office Support
  • Pet Therapy
  • Vigil Volunteer
  • and more!

Description

AccentCare Hospice of Jackson serves patients and families in and around the Jackson area. We are currently seeking new volunteers to provide a wide variety of services to our patients and their loved ones.
- Direct care volunteers visit with patients wherever they call home to provide companionship and socialization.
- Music companions use the power of music to enhance the quality of our patients ’ lives.
- Spiritual companions share their faith with patients of the same religious background and complement the services of our chaplains.
- Legacy project volunteers assist patients and families with creating meaningful projects to honor the patients’ life.
- Vigil volunteers provide supportive presence at the bedside of patients who are actively dying .

These are just a few of the ways volunteers in our organization support our patients, families, and staff.

Even if you only have a few hours a month to give, we would be honored to have you join our team and support our mission of offering compassionate, personalized hospice care. Training is free and flexible to fit your schedule and you can choose what area you want to serve. Students age 13 and up are encouraged to join us as indirect volunteers or can buddy with another trained volunteer (teen or adult) to make in-person visits to patients in facilities .

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find ways to share your talents with those at the end of life.
