Does anyone have a job description for a Hospice Volunteer Manager?

Posted by Kathleen Moen on August 11, 2010 at 11:27am
I am looking for a job description for Hospice Volunteer Manager. My administrator would like to change my job title from VC to VM and asked me to see if I could find something in any regs that use the verbage Volunteer Manager instead of Volunteer Coordinator as it relates to hospice specifically. Most of us are doing the job of management more than coordination, even though we also coordinate. I found a VM description in the newest NHPCO Volunteer manual, however was wondering if anyone out there had another? Thanks, Kathleen

    I am so happy that your administrator wants to change your title to recognize what you do. I really don't think your job description would change from what it currently says, unless they are planning to hire a person to work under you as the volunteer coordinator. Then you would want to add supervision standards in your description. I would review what is in the NHPCO manual to what you currently have and go from there.

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

— Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
