It’s not always easy for people to get to doctor or hospital appointments. Can you help people either driving them in your own car or using public transport so that they can get to where they need to go?

We would like volunteers who:

• Are available to volunteer on a regular basis.
• Are looking to support people in need within their local community.
• Have held a driving licence for at least 2 years which allows you to drive in the UK.
• Can commit to volunteering for at least 6 months.
• The service operating days are Monday - Friday. Your availability and location will be discussed on a regular basis, and trips will be allocated to match your circumstances.

Due to the nature of this role, applicants must undergo Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check. Applicants will be asked to provide ID documents in support of the DBS check.

Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong.

We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness.

As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role.
