About the role

Beacon Hospice an Amedisys company is looking for certified Pet Therapy Volunteers to offer therapeutic non-medical support as needed to the hospice patient, family/caregiver, and staff at communities our patients reside. Volunteers must have certified therapy dogs to be eligible for this program. We have several opportunities in Hingham. Hospice patients enjoy having visits from certified dogs to bring them companionship, comfort, happiness and wonderful memories of their pets. Pet Therapy helps patients cope better with their medical problems, relieve stress from illness, provide comfort and companionship. Patients look forward to their next visit with these animals. If you have 30 minutes of extra time to spend with a patient and share the love of your pet with them, we would like to have you join our team. We offer volunteer training (certificate will be provided) and a fabulous volunteer team. Reach out today to inquire about this amazing opportunity and find out when the next volunteer training will be taking place.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
