• Volunteer Drivers needed in Morgan. To make trips from Morgan to Adelaide.
• Commitment is one full day a week or fortnightly from 8:00am - 4:00pm

The Program

The purpose of the Home Support Program is to strengthen people’s capacity to participate in community life, maintain or regain independence and stay living in their own home for longer. Volunteers are required to pick up and transport clients in accordance with the daily electronic schedule. They will ensure a safe, courteous and respectful on-board client experience keeping in mind their health, well-being, cultural background, life experiences and social connection.

All Red Cross vehicles and offices are subject to enhanced, regular cleaning at this time. All drivers are expected to follow strict sanitisation protocols. No clients with virus symptoms or have been in contact with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases, who have travelled overseas in the last 14 days, or have been in contact with those who have been to Government identified high risk countries in the last 14 days are transported.

The Opportunity

For this role, you are required to have a current full Australian drivers license, an excellent driving record and a first Aid certificate or willingness to complete First Aid Training (Red Cross will provide this). You will have the ability to communicate effectively and empathetically with a broad range of people including the elderly, individuals living with disabilities, disadvantaged, socially isolated and culturally diverse clients.

You will transport and support clients who are experiencing vulnerability or are socially isolated to attend medical appointments, allied health consultations and social engagements.

The Impact

As a volunteer driver, you will brighten the day of your clients by providing a positive and respectful experience while you interact and meet some fantastic people. We offer on the job training prior to commencing and ongoing training opportunities as required.
