About the role

Volunteers play a vital role in preserving each hospice patient's dignity while removing the fear associated with dying. Craft volunteers can support the hospice community by making items such as prayer shawls, afghans, pillow cases, pajamas, lap blankets, and scrap books. These tokens of love bring great joy and comfort to the patients and families who receive them. In addition, our Memory Bear Program is a vital part of the care we provide to our grieving families. Using Simplicity pattern 5461- our Seamstresses create beautiful Memory Bears for our patients loved ones. New craft ideas are always welcomed and creativity is a plus. If you are interested in learning more about this volunteer opportunity please contact our Volunteer Coordinator Stephanie McCaffrey at stephaniemccaffrey@accentcare.com or use the link below. We look forward to hearing from you!

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.
