Community Transport Driver Volunteer
Graham House Community Centre is always on the lookout for kind, reliable drivers who want to make a real difference in the lives of others. As a Volunteer Community Transport Driver, you’ll help people in our community get to where they need to go—whether that’s medical appointments, shopping trips, social outings, or other important services.
You might drive one of our service vehicles to a client’s home, help them with mobility aids, and safely take them to their destination and back again. In other situations, you may travel with a client on a bus, helping them get on and off, and supporting them as they access services. The main focus is always on safety, dignity, and independence.

As a Volunteer Driver, you’ll:
-
Help people get around safely and comfortably.

Assist clients with getting in and out of vehicles and, when needed, accompany them into buildings.

Keep our team informed about any issues, concerns, or feedback you notice on the road.
-
Follow safety and risk‑management procedures, including checking routes and planning trips.
-
Attend training sessions and information sessions so you stay up to date with how we work.
-
Treat every client with respect, patience, and kindness.
-
Help people access services, social activities, and opportunities to stay connected and involved in community life.
-
Occasionally record small client contributions when required, following simple procedures.

-
Genuinely enjoy helping others and being part of a supportive team.
