About this Opportunity

Unity Hospice is looking for Administrative Volunteers to help support our patients and families behind-the-scenes! This role is perfect for retirees who enjoyed roles as office support staff, college students needing volunteer hours, and others who have availability on weekdays and enjoy the social atmosphere of an office full of nice people. These volunteers could perform a variety of roles:

Writing cards to patients and families

Assembling birthday baskets for patient birthdays

Writing cards for staff birthdays and anniversaries

Helping to assemble patient intake packets and orientation binders

Making Care Kits for families facing the end of their loved one's life

Organizing supplies for our Veteran's honoring program

Calling patients/families to check in on their med and supply needs

Helping to sort and unbox medical supplies for patients

Assisting with other administrative tasks needed in the office

Hospice patients and their families are facing an often difficult end-of-life journey, and our office team is here to support them in whatever way we can! We love our volunteers and the assistance they provide in making sure our families feel cared for. We promise to treat you with the adoration you deserve and ply you with delicious snacks.

Because our volunteers are privy to patient information and spend time with our staff, we do require them to go through an onboarding process that includes fingerprinting (which requres a social security number), a tb test, a drug test (for drugs not legal in IL) and an orientation.

This role would take place weekly for 1-3 hours depending on your availability, and would be at our office on Cermak & Jefferson. We request volunteers commit for a minimum of 9 months.

Join us, and become part of the circle of care that surrounds our hospice families!
