Non-profit organizations certainly rely on volunteers to help at events and fundraisers, as well as some of the day-to-day activities and responsibilities - but most organizations also have paid positions on their staff. One non-profit that continues to do amazing things in and around Evansville is CHEMO BUDDIES, and they are looking for two new part-time employees.

What Does Chemo Buddies Do?

"Chemo Buddies gives hope and encouragement to those who are going through cancer treatment. In addition to volunteers in the treatment room, we provide positive, uplifting experiences to everyone affected by cancer." They do that by literally being a buddy, a friend, to folks who are battling cancer with chemotherapy. Spending time in hospitals and clinics is only part of what Chemo Buddies does.

Candidates must be computer and iPhone savvy, they must have strong communication skills, attention to detail, the ability to work both mornings and afternoons as necessary, and be able to pass a background search.
