Music Therapist/Volunteer Coordinator

Arlington, TX

At Arc Hospice & Palliative Care, we are united by a mission to bring comfort, dignity, and compassionate support to every patient and family we serve. Join a team where your work has purpose and your growth is supported.

This role supports our Hand in Hand hospice program, a part of Arc Hospice & Palliative Care family, and is dedicated to compassionate, community-rooted end-of-life care. The Music Therapist / Volunteer Coordinator plays a unique dual role in enriching the emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial experience of our patients and families. This full-time position combines clinical music therapy services with leadership of the volunteer program, ensuring personalized support through both direct therapeutic engagement and the compassionate presence of trained volunteers.

As Music Therapist, you will provide individualized, culturally responsive music therapy interventions across home, facility, and inpatient settings, aligned with the interdisciplinary plan of care. Your work will support symptom management, legacy work, and emotional healing at end of life through voice, instruments, and intentional presence.

As Volunteer Coordinator, you will recruit, train, and support hospice volunteers across roles — including patient companionship, caregiver respite, bereavement, and administrative assistance. You’ll ensure volunteer activities meet regulatory standards and reflect the values of dignity, connection, and service. This includes maintaining compliance with Medicare’s 5% volunteer service requirement and contributing to interdisciplinary care planning.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
