The Volunteer Centre is a busy town centre charity that delivers a number of services including transport, cars, buses, general recruitment and Newbury Shopmobility.

This is a rare opportunity to join our happy team of volunteers in our volunteer car scheme office to provide cover when other volunteers are unavailable.

The role involves handling requests for transport from people with mobility problems, mainly over the telephone. The ideal person will be confident, well organised, PC literate, friendly, outgoing and have an empathy for people with transport needs.

Volunteering takes place on weekday mornings (10am-1pm).

It's fun, rewarding and a very supportive atmosphere. Our charity does a huge amount in the town and this is an opportunity to make a worthwhile contribution.

The Volunteer Centre is in Broadway House at the Clocktower end of Northbrook Street.

What skills do I need?

We are looking for a well organised, friendly, outgoing person living close by who has good PC skills, an empathy for older people/the less able and is able to deal all types and kinds of people. The role would suit really good listeners who are able to communicate clearly with volunteer drivers. We require long-term commitment. Diplomacy, tact and a cheerful nature are particular skills you will need as well. You will be working with an existing team of volunteers within a good sociable environment.
