Volunteer Driver (Eastleigh)

If you enjoy driving and like meeting people, this is the role for you. You’ll be delivering wheelchairs to people locally or further afield to help them get moving again after illness or injury.

Ideally you will live within 10 miles of the equipment collection point at the British Red Cross office in Eastleigh.

We are looking for volunteers who;

• Will be available weekly on a regular basis.
• Available to cover a 4.5 hour shift.
• Shifts available Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30am to 1pm.
• Have held a driving licence for at least 2 years which allows you to drive in the UK and be willing to drive a British Red Cross vehicle.
• Can commit to volunteering for a minimum 6 months.

The role will involve driving a long-wheel based vehicle and loading mobility aid equipment in and out of the vehicle.

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. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives.

We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us.

We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone.
