Duty Driver Volunteers

Our mission is to deliver urgent medical samples, equipment and supplies free of charge between hospitals, healthcare sites and laboratories in the North East of Scotland when Healthcare Providers’ own transport services do not operate.

We need drivers over the age of 25 to help us achieve this mission.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference. All volunteers are greatly appreciated. For more details please contact Graeme Scott, Membership Secretary at email: membershipsecretary@nervs.org.uk or telephone.: 07881460792.


Experience required

Has to be a driver who has held their licence for 2 years or over and has a clean licence ( minimal points may be accepted but it depends on our insurance company).

Travel details

We have a base at Dyce where our Vehicles are based. Travel happens all over the North East of Scotland during the volunteering.

Support
Training details

Excellent support and relevant training is provided to all volunteers.

A video induction to our base facility is provided and also to our vehicles, as well as a physical induction. A shadow shift where you shadow another rider is available and encouraged. We have a training coordinator who organises on going training throughout your time with NERVS. When you are on shift there is always either a duty controller or a board member on with you to provide support.
