What are 'Friends' as a job?

A 'Friend' as a job refers to a professional companion who offers emotional support, conversation, and company to clients. This role is sometimes called a 'rent-a-friend' or 'professional friend,' where individuals are paid to spend time with others, attend events, or simply provide a listening ear. The work is strictly platonic and focuses on improving social experiences and reducing loneliness for clients. Professional friends may meet people in person or online, depending on the arrangement and service offered.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Friend, and why are they important?

I'm sorry, but 'Friend' is not a recognized professional occupation and does not have formal key skills or qualifications applicable to employment.

While friends provide personal support without formal training, caregivers are trained professionals offering specialized assistance. The key difference lies in credentials, work environment, and purpose—friends are personal contacts, whereas caregivers are employed to deliver professional care services.

Job description

Do you have about an hour a week to be a friend to someone with a terminal diagnosis? Many hospice patients have outlived their family and friends or have very little support at the end of their life.

Did you see the story on FB about the 90-year-old woman who left a note asking her neighbor to be her friend? It was heart wrenching to me. Her note said:

"...Would you consider becoming my friend? I am 90 years old - live alone and all my friends have passed away. I am so lonesome and scared."

Another story that touched my heart: "I'm alone, I can look at photos of my family and memories I brought from home. And that's all. I have nobody left."

We can change that! We can be the friend, the visitor they long to have.

Legend will provide training and then assign you a patient. Most of our volunteers visit their patient once a week for about an hour. Volunteers visit, read, play games, play music, etc. No hands-on care, just be a friend. If you are interested, please complete the brief application below to hold a spot in our next training. Our primary criteria is that you have a heart to serve others.

I look forward to serving this precious population with you.
