Hospice Volunteer Training Series

 
 

As soon as someone expresses an interest in becoming a hospice volunteer, you are ready!  No more hoping that the volunteer will wait for the next set of training classes.

 

READY

Hospice Volunteer Training for the 21st century


An independent study program developed specifically for hospice volunteers, and designed to complement and work with your training process.


SET

Set the volunteer up with the Hospice Volunteer Training Series DVD, Manual & Workbook to begin their personalized volunteer training program.  Keep in touch by phone, e-mail or face to face visits.  File their competency quizzes and reflections.  Meet with the volunteer individually or in small groups to cover your hospice’s history, record keeping and other specialized information.  Build upon the core information covered in the DVD training and use the face to face time to build relationships, motivate, discuss, role play and develop that all important sense of belonging. 

Once the volunteer has finished the independent study program and any additional requirements to meet your particular standards, complete the final interview process.  Give them their first assignment and they are ready to GO!

GO

Consistent, easy to follow core training:  By taking advantage of current technology, the hospice insures that all volunteers receive consistent and well presented information.  (Your staff may be fantastic, but they may not be good teachers.)

BENEFITS

Saves money: Independent study is not only effective and convenient, but an economical approach to core training.  The savings are significant when compared to small class sizes engaged in classroom study.  Download our cost analysis form:  Cost Analysis.pdf

Time efficient & effective segments:  The volunteer chooses when to watch the DVD segments on their home DVD player or computer.  For persons who may not own a player, consider purchasing a loaner portable DVD player or allow the volunteer to watch the segments on your office TV at times that are convenient for them. 

Medicare required topics:  Simple and easy way to insure that all volunteers receive the same training on subjects required by Medicare.

Self-contained and ready to go:  DVD’s, Manual and Workbook in a ready to go tote bag couldn’t be easier.

Independent study as assessment tool:  A potential volunteer’s success with self-study is a strong indicator as to their ability to follow through and perform volunteer duties independently.
