BASE (https://www.basefife.org.uk/) is a Scottish Registered Charity established in 2005 by blind and partially sighted people. The management committee consists of nine Trustees and one co-opted member, the majority of whom are sight impaired. BASE depends entirely on fundraising from donations and applications to charitable trusts.
BASE supports people with sight impairment resident in NE Fife by offering a monthly programme of social activities, including visits to places of interest, theatre visits, museums and outdoor activities. BASE is supported by a team of volunteers providing transport and guiding. These activities take place on the first Thursday each month
BASE is looking to appoint a new Transport Coordinator
Phone participants about the next trip, once the number of participants is known, contact the volunteer driver / guides and arrange pick up times for participants. Contact the participants the weekend before the trip to give them the driver names and pick up times. Complete the paperwork and send to the trip leader. This is a job sharing opportunity.
Experience required
Some participants are socially isolated and love to chat on the phone. The volunteer needs to have a friendly, cheerful and patient telephone manner. They need to be organised and able to adapt / make changes to plans at short notice. They would need to use a word processor and access to a printer would be helpful.
