Volunteer Driver - North Lanarkshire

We are looking for volunteers who can provide a strong foundation to help strengthen their communities by helping Care Experienced children and young people engage in activities to build their skills and confidence and to be included, understood, respected, and valued in their communities.

Transport is one of the biggest barriers our young people face in being able to attend their group. This role has a focus on picking up young people and driving them to Bellshill where the group is based and then returning them home after the session. Pick ups are across the North Lanarkshire area.

This role will involve interacting with primary aged young people at our fortnightly sessions as well as at our National events that happen throughout the year. There could be opportunities to support the group work between pick ups and drops offs.


Who Cares? Scotland is a people organisation. We invest in our people, our relationships and in a positive working culture. It’s important to us that our volunteer team is included, involved and motivated to change society.
