Minibus driver Escorted Shopping Trip
You will be redirected to the Volunteer Essex website to express your interest.
We are looking for a driver to join our escorted shopping team on their Monday trips.
This involves picking up a 13 seater, easy access minibus and driving it to Sainsbury’s, Newbury
Park, picking up shoppers on the way. The trip takes the whole of Monday morning, finishing at
about 2 pm. The team includes escorts who will support the shoppers and there is a rota system
for drivers and escorts.
This is a service which is gives the most elderly and frail of our clients the chance to choose their
own shopping and socialise in a safe way.
Then there are the extra benefits of well-being and purpose which any volunteering brings.
What skills do I need?
Anyone over 21 with a D1 driving licence. LVC will arrange and pay for an
enhanced DBS check and a Midas test for the successful applicant. The test promotes a nationally
recognised standard for the assessment and training of minibus drivers and would enhance your
CV.
The trip is part of our social inclusion programme aimed at preventing loneliness, so it is desirable
that all volunteers have good communication skills, especially listening skills.
