Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand Volunteering Waikato Full time
Transport to Treatment Driver - Hamilton & Cambridge

Volunteers play a key role in delivering our support and services to people with cancer and their whānau. The time and support you are able to give people is hugely valued by those whom you will transport.

This role assists people with cancer by transporting them to a variety of destinations including Waikato Hospital and other cancer-related appointments. You will pick people up from their home and return them back home once their appointment is over. This takes a lot of stress out of the treatment journey. Not having to cope with traffic, parking, and navigation issues eases the burden people face on a regular basis.

We do have your safety in our best interest, so we have guidance and safety measures in place.

Requirements:

  • Being empathetic and a good listener is vital as you travel to and from appointments.
  • Being organised and punctual is a must-have as you'll need to liaise with clients about pick-up and drop-off times, and connect with others in the volunteer team to make sure that every assignment runs smoothly.
  • Must understand and maintain the strictest confidentiality.
  • Needs to be patient, understanding, and able to work with people of all social, religious, and cultural backgrounds.
  • A careful driver with a current clean full driver's licence.
  • A vehicle with current WOF, registration, and comprehensive vehicle insurance.

Two online orientation modules must be completed before being given a shadow drive (with an experienced driver).

Please note - the Cancer Society supports and promotes a smoke-free New Zealand.

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

This will be dependent on where the client lives and usually takes 2-4 hours per assignment during normal business hours, Monday-Friday.

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
