Volunteer Driver

Do you like driving? Do you like helping people? Could you be a Volunteer Driver for the North Herts & Stevenage Community Transport service?

The Volunteer Driver role is very flexible, and you give the time that you want to give each week. This could be a couple of mornings a week, a day a week, or more! You will meet new people and it's a great social role, and one where you really are providing a vital service. There is a mileage rate of 45p per mile which is paid to the Volunteer Driver on the day, with a minimum charge of £5.

The North Herts & Stevenage Community Transport service helps to solve transport problems for residents across North Herts & Stevenage. The service uses a dedicated team of volunteers who all use their own cars in their free time to transport local people to their required destination. The Volunteer Drivers are paid a mileage rate to cover the distance they travel which is currently paid at 45p per mile.

Managed by North Herts & Stevenage CVS, the service is aimed at individuals, both elderly and young who have difficulty using other passenger transport. This may be because of age, frailty, a disability or other mobility problems - or simply because there is no alternative form of passenger transport available. The service can take residents to a range of health and medical appointments at hospitals, to vaccinations, doctors and also to day centres and clubs.
