Meet Morris – Our Minibus Needs a Driver Like You!

For City of Chelmsford Mencap

Register your interest

We're looking for confident, friendly volunteer drivers to help our Mencap students access a range of exciting activities, events, and community projects.

You'll be more than just a driver – you'll also lend a hand supporting students and staff at their destinations. Whether it's a seaside day out, working in a community garden, or helping develop independent living skills, your support will be invaluable.

We especially need drivers on Mondays, but opportunities are available most weekdays, with occasional evenings and weekends too. You can volunteer regularly or just now and then – whatever fits your schedule.

A good sense of humour and a kind, respectful attitude towards people with learning disabilities are essential.

Our minibus – affectionately named Morris – seats 12 and is ready for the road.

If you're up for a rewarding role where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you!

What skills do I need?

- A confident driver.

- Experienced in driving minibuses.

- Happy to take part in trips and activities.

- Enthusiastic, kind and patient.
