Retail volunteer driver; Van Driver Major

Overview

Our shops rely on our volunteers to keep them running successfully. A key role is that of our volunteer drivers. Our drivers support us by delivering and collecting items across their local area, to both customers and other shops. We’ll need to check your driving licence before you can start for things like penalty points and which vehicles you are allowed to drive.

If you have a few hours a week you can spare on a regular basis and enjoy being out and about, meeting new people, keeping active and want to help then please get in touch.

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.

Health and Safety Statement

We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment. We will also have a conversation with you to discuss any restrictions that may still be in place in your region and identify any adjustments you may need.

Unfortunately, we can’t accept applications from 15 – 17-year-olds for this role. Please get in touch and we can support you to find another role in your area.
