Botley NeighbourCare (BNC)  aim to provide transport to / from medical appointments when no other option is available to, mostly, vulnerable residents of Botley. Sometimes the trips are short, sometimes longer, and we endeavour to wait with or nearby the client at each appointment. The appointment locations can be local doctors or dentists as well as hospitals.  Sometimes we even take vulnerable clients to hairdressing appointments, shopping and other events.  

As a volunteer driver, your fuel costs are reimbursed but firstly we carry out a DBS check as many of our clients are vulnerable adults. 

Relevant training & support are provided relating to this role that provides a lifeline for our clients and for you to give back to the community.

We operate a flexible volunteering opportunity, meaning you only assist when you can; we ask no more of anyone.

What skills do I need?

• A full and clean driving license
• Be able to find your way around Botley as well as to/from various medical locations in Hampshire and sometimes Dorset
• Enjoy the company of others as well as having a great rapport
