Driver – Ashford Kent Volunteer Centre, Kent Association for the Blind
Detailed Description
We require a driver to help us with one of our local groups that provides social activities for visually impaired people. We have a group which meets weekly on a Tuesday afternoon in Rochester and we currently have a waiting list of people who would like to attend but cannot as they are unable to access public transport and are unable to get to the venue. Visually Impaired People are at a very high risk of isolation and groups like these give something for people to look forward to. For this role you will need to be a car driver/owner. We pay for your mileage expenses at 45p per mile.
Activities you will be doing
- Befriending
- Buddying & Mentoring
- Driving (must have full driving license)
What skills are required for this role
- UK Driving Licence
Why these skills are required
Volunteers will need to be patient and aware of our service users needs. They will need to have a full driving licence and have access to a vehicle.
What is in it for you
This is a lovely position and you will get to know the service users that you are helping, for many they do not get the opportunity to socialise regularly so getting out once a week is something they really look forward to. It is a very rewarding position.
