Community Transport Volunteer

• Royal Voluntary Service (East Lothian)

• VO92432

As a Community Transport Volunteer you will take clients to health appointments around East Lothian and sometimes into Edinburgh. It's a fantastic opportunity to meet and assist lots of lovely people who need assistance getting to appointments. You'll use your own car (fuel expenses covered) to take clients to health appointments around East Lothian and sometimes into Edinburgh (if that suits). It's a fantastic way to assist and get to know people by helping them to appointments and also giving back to the community.

A lot of people find it very difficult to get to GP/ nurse appointments, hospital, dentist, physio, and you'll take them there and make a huge positive difference to their lives!

It is very flexible in terms of hours and which areas you cover.

Experience required

Full UK driving licence. Confident driver. Good with people.
