Job description

Volunteer Shuttle Driver – St John Health Shuttle

The St John Health Shuttle is a lifeline for many in our community, offering a free transport service to help people attend essential medical and health-related appointments. With over 65,000 trips made each year, this service is invaluable for older adults, individuals who are too unwell to drive, and those who don’t have access to other transport options.

As a volunteer Shuttle Driver, you will play a vital role in ensuring clients get to their appointments safely and on time. This is a customer-focused role where your care and empathy can make a real difference.

Key Responsibilities

  • Safely drive the St John Shuttle vehicle to transport clients to and from appointments.

  • Physical fitness - Some clients may need assistance getting in and out of the shuttle, so being fit and able to help is important.
  • Reliability and punctuality - Ensuring clients arrive at their appointments on time is a key part of the role.
  • This role is more than just driving; it’s about connecting with people and supporting them during times when they need it most. If you’re looking for a way to give back to your community and enjoy meeting new people, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
