Volunteer Driver
Being a good driver goes without saying in this role, but as a Client Driver you’ll be doing so much more than getting someone from A to B.
This is very much a front-line role, where every journey you make will be helping someone to get the support and treatment they need, so being empathetic and a good listener is vital as you travel to and from appointments.
Being organised and punctual is a ‘must-have’, as you’ll need to liaise with clients about pick up and drop off times and connect in with others in the volunteer team to make sure that every assignment runs smoothly.
As part of our strong network of volunteers, you will be part of an important group of people helping a client and their supporters through their treatment.
Hours: It usually takes between 2-5 hours per assignment, mostly within usual business hours.
If you think this is the right role for you, please fill out an application form.

Requirements:

Own a suitable insured vehicle with current WOF, registration and clear driver's licence. All drivers will be police vetted and assessed by a driving assessor.
