RESPONSIBILITIES

Hospice is about quality of life. Your compassion and loving presence are all that is required to make a tremendous difference in someone's life.

Signature Hospice invites you to join our team to support patients and families in the Eugene/Springfield community and surrounding areas. Our volunteer training will prepare you to provide companionship and support that patients and families need when faced with a terminal illness. As a volunteer, you may take walks with a person in the garden at a facility or their home, you might listen to stories about their life, adventures, and relationships, or about current worries and concerns. Our volunteer opportunities include direct patient/family companionship and support: writing letters, reading books aloud, playing board and card games, playing and listening to music, providing conversations and companionship, sitting quietly, watching tv or enjoying nature, and sometimes helping with bucket list items or putting together legacy projects to leave behind for family and friends.

We also have a tremendous need for special-interest volunteers if you have a particular hobby or passion you wish to share. Do you play an instrument? Love to knit or crochet and have time and supplies to share? Are you part of a certified pet therapy team and have a pet who would love to brighten a patient's day? If you have a particular interest, connecting with a patient that shares that same interest can be a transformative and heart-healing experience for you both.

Signature offers a personal letter of reference for those volunteers who have been working with patients for 90 days or more and could use this service towards employment or school applications.

Our training will prepare you for a multitude of ways to form a connection with your patient and support them through the end-of-life transition. We value our employee safety and offer basic infection control training and any necessary personal protective equipment to help safeguard you and our patients from Covid-19 infection. For more information on trainings please contact us via email or phone to set up an interview.
