VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED FOR ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORT SERVICE (VEHICLE PROVIDED)

Do you enjoy driving, like to be active and want to help people in your community?

Disability Can Do runs an accessible community transport service, Can Do Transport, for elderly and disabled people who live in the Borough of Caerphilly and struggle to access public transport from our Centre in Pontllanfraith.

Driving one of our accessible vehicles, you will provide a friendly and reliable door-to-door transport service for our passengers to get them to medical and/or well-being appointments.

You will be responsible for assisting passengers in and out of the vehicle as required, safely stowing any mobility aids or securing their wheelchair for travel and waiting while the passenger attends their appointment ready to return them home again.  A full induction and training will be given and a chaperone will accompany you for any journeys with a wheelchair user.

Ideally, we are looking for a regular commitment of availability between 9:00am and 5:00pm on at least 1 day a week, but journeys are not always booked so you may not always be required. There is flexibility to fit around your other commitments.

Benefits & Perks: As a valued volunteer, you’ll receive full induction, training and support. A simple uniform is provided and expenses will be reimbursed. This is a fulfilling and enjoyable role which will enable you to meet new people, develop your communication skills and gain experience and confidence working on your own and as part of a team. Most importantly, you will be making a real difference to the lives of elderly or disabled people in your community who otherwise would not be able to leave their homes to attend vital appointments
