Driving Volunteer
Do you enjoy driving and want to find a fulfilling way to give back to your community? If so, we would love you to become a Volunteer Driver for Demelza!
Our amazing team of volunteers help transport children, young people and families to and from medical appointments, to the hospice for day care and short breaks, and to activities they may not have been able to attend without some transport help. Our drivers also deliver essential equipment, therapy bags, and seasonal treats such as Easter Eggs and Christmas presents!
Driving for Demelza is really flexible - there is no minimum or maximum amount of support required – whatever journeys you can help with make a massive difference.
You can use your own vehicle for some journeys provided it meets insurance requirements and family needs. Demelza has a small number of cars, wheelchair accessible vehicles and a minibus that volunteers can also use.
🤝 Requirements:
- Full valid drivers licence held for 2 years and aged over 21
- Enhanced DBS check, references and training course for volunteering with families must be completed with Demelza before starting
- Undertake ongoing training and support with Demelza throughout your role to ensure you are safe whilst volunteering
- Maintain any MOT and Insurance requirements if you are using your own vehicle for any driving for Demelza.
Join us in creating moments of joy and support for children and families who need it most. Apply today to become a Volunteer Driver with Demelza, or contact our Practical Support team on 01795 845299 to find out more about the role.
