Job Description

Volunteer with Hospice of Central Ohio to provide non-medical companionship, and provide an empathetic presence for a patient for up to four hours at a time. Due to this volunteer position, patients who might otherwise pass alone have the reassuring presence of a fellow human being who is trained to provide non-medical, attentive, and compassionate care during the active dying process. Where applicable, the Volunteer also provides support to caregivers and family members who may be present during this time. Volunteers consistently employ active listening skills and the ability to provide quiet, reassuring presence. Volunteers will record information as appropriate, and inform/notify Hospice of Central Ohio paid staff of important information per their volunteer training.

To volunteer, join the Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) a volunteer program exclusive to Ohio residents in Franklin County ages 55 years and older . We match volunteers ages 55+ with nonprofits in their community that either need or rely on volunteers to be able to provide their services. Funded through the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and part of AmeriCorps Seniors, VANTAGE Aging’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 years and over. We partner with nonprofit agencies to match these older adults to their volunteer opportunities. RSVP projects link the skills of the volunteers with the identified needs of the community. We think of ourselves as the 'center hub' for our volunteers looking for opportunities. We offer many wonderful incentives and perks to our team of RSVP volunteers, this program is free and so rewarding to be a part of.
