The Heart Behind the Team

At Transitions Hospice , we don't just manage care — we protect dignity, comfort, and the moments that matter most. We've reimagined hospice to be something different: compassionate, unhurried, and built around the whole person. That means every detail handled with care, every volunteer placed with purpose, and every team member supported so they can focus on what matters most — the patients and families counting on us.

If you're an organized, people-first professional who wants your work to mean something beyond a to-do list, this is your role.

As Team Assistant & Volunteer Coordinator, you'll be the operational backbone of your branch — keeping clinical teams organized, records accurate, and our volunteer program thriving. Your day-to-day includes:

• Assisting with medical record requests and processing missed visits and coordination notes
• Maintaining temperature logs for refrigerators containing medications
• Ensuring new hires have supplies ready on their start date, coordinated with HR and IT

IDG Meeting Support

• Serving as scribe during IDG meetings to ensure thorough and accurate documentation

Volunteer Program Management
