Volunteer Role with Stipend Opportunities*
Location: Remote or Field-Based
Hours: Flexible
Most human resource roles are about resumes, job descriptions, and checking boxes. Not here. At Seniors In Distress, we do not build teams based on credentials—we build them based on character, compassion, and commitment.
While others ask, “What have you done?” we ask, “What will you do—right now—for seniors who are suffering, isolated, or mistreated?” This is not a typical HR position. This is a Talent Advocate role designed to protect lives, not just fill roles.
We do not just hire people
We build a movement
At Seniors In Distress, we do not believe in hiring based on resumes, degrees, or past job titles. We believe in hiring heart, vision, and action.
As our Talent Advocate (HR Manager), you will not just manage the hiring, you will be the gatekeeper of our mission. Your role is to find and bring in people who will fight for seniors with more care, urgency, and respect than many people ever receive from their own families.
We do not ask about your experience
We ask about your vision
- What do you want to change in senior care, protection, and support
- How will you ensure we build a team truly committed to our mission
- How can HR be a driving force for advocacy, not just administration
Your mission
- Recruit with Purpose – Find and bring in people who believe advocacy is more than a job—it is a calling
- Shape a Mission-Driven Culture – Ensure our workplace reflects our zero-tolerance stance on mistreatment and commitment to protecting seniors
- Challenge Traditional Hiring Practices – Seek out candidates who have heart, grit, and a deep sense of responsibility to seniors—not just credentials
- Build a Team That Embodies Our Motto – Compassion, Not Compromise.
* Compensation & Benefits
- Limited compensation during the project: Volunteers who apply or join Seniors In Distress through platforms like Taproot, VolunteerMatch or similar services are not eligible for stipends, salaries, bonuses, gift cards, or other forms of payment for work performed while tied to the platform, in order to remain in compliance with platform policies
- Direct volunteers: Those who find and join Seniors In Distress directly (not through a third-party platform) may be considered for stipends, paid roles, or other forms of support during or after the project, depending on funding, role, and organizational approval
- Experience and growth: Gain hands-on experience, professional development, and skill-building opportunities that enhance your personal and career growth
- Recognition for your impact: Volunteers are acknowledged for their contributions through certificates, letters of appreciation, and other forms of recognition, while making a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors
- Opportunities after the project: Once the initial or subsequent project ends, Seniors In Distress may offer volunteers paid roles, stipends, or other forms of support directly, outside of the third-party platform agreement
Who should apply
We are not looking for someone to check boxes and process paperwork. We are looking for a changemaker. Someone who understands that hiring the right people means the difference between seniors being protected or overlooked.
If that is you, skip the traditional cover letter. Instead, tell us:
✅ What you want to do for seniors
✅ How you will build a team that fights for them
✅ Why you believe hiring is a tool for advocacy
This is not just a job—it is a mission.
Let us build something powerful.
