The Fed.
One off shopping/ One off transport
The Fed Volunteer Services Team have last minute requests every week from clients in the community to be taken to medical appointments or to go shopping.
We can't support our community without the help of our amazing volunteers.
Come and join our team!
What difference you will make
With full training and ongoing support from us, you can make a difference to someone's life by enabling them to retain some independence, have the freedom to make choices, swap stories and build a great rapport.
What additional skills or experience you should have
Good communication is the most important skill - with us and with your client.
We would hope you are able to listen without being judgmental, to empathise, to be patient, friendly, caring and have a good sense of humour!
For transport we require volunteers to have full UK driving license, roadworthy car with insurance, and valid MOT.
What training we will provide for you
All volunteers will have an interview, need to provide 2 referees, have a DBS check and then be invited to attend a 3-hour group induction covering all aspects of policies and procedures to support your volunteering role. You will get ongoing support from our team of coordinators. There are further opportunities to attend other awareness sessions such as dementia, food safety and first aid.
What you will get out of volunteering for us
Volunteering is GOOD FOR YOU!
It's a great way to meet new people, to increase your skills and experience, to try something new, to add to your CV, to give back to your community and best of all it actually decreases stress!
