Job Description
Care Dimensions has a truly meaningful purpose – to provide compassionate care to our patients who are faced with an advanced or end-of-life illness. Since 1978, Care Dimensions has been a driving force in expanding access to hospice and palliative care in Massachusetts. At Care Dimensions, we invest in people who take pride in caring and supporting. We support and strengthen our people with extensive training, teamwork and technology. Our values are embedded in our work, each and every day: Compassion, Excellence, Collaboration, Integrity, Responsiveness, Innovation. As part of the Care Dimensions team, you’ll gain the support and inspiration for a career you’ll find meaningful every day.
Please note this is an UNPAID VOLUNTEER opportunity, yet extremely rewarding and meaningful:
Care Dimensions needs volunteers with dogs that are certified in pet therapy or have passed the AKC Good Citizen Test to visit hospice patients wherever they call home - nursing homes, assisted living facilities, private homes, and our hospice houses in Danvers and in Lincoln. Volunteer visits are flexible, and YOU decide on the hours you can give and where to volunteer within our service area. Requirements include our volunteer training on Zoom and a one-hour orientation for you and your dog.
Interested? Please apply and someone from our Volunteer Services team will reach out to you. For more information, call 978-750-9349, email Volunteers@caredimensions.org or visit https://www.CareDimensions.org/PetVisitors.
