Volunteer Driver

For Friends and Places Together

Register your interest

As a charity that supports young people with additional needs, our young people do not always have access to transport and can't travel independently on public transport. We are looking for a driver with their own car (a 7 seater would be desirable but not required). Our current options of drivers are very limited at this moment and any help would be greatly appreciated.

As a volunteer you will gain valuable experience of working with young people and those with additional needs. If you want to get into the area of Health and Social Care this could act as a great springboard into the workforce and would show you have ample experience. Although never guaranteed, we aspire to offer as much paid work to our volunteers after being with us for a committed period of time. We also cover any expenses incurred.

We need people who are enthusiastic and willing to help others for a great cause. We need those who can bring excitement and creativity to the role or simply have a passion for health and social care work.
As we grow as an organisation we need as many people as possible to help vulnerable people in the community.

What skills do I need?

No qualifications required.
Experience not necessary.
We offer support, a chance to build up skills and experiences and you will be part of making someone's life truly inclusive. The people we recruit are open-minded, flexible, caring, and trustworthy.


With the application form, we do not require a CV, only a Cover Letter explaining why you would like to work with us.
The informal discussion will be an opportunity for us to meet and get to know you more and talk about shift patterns and best times of working for you
