Driver Assistant Volunteer - Christchurch

PDSA 62 HIGH STREET CHRISTCHURCH DORSET BH23 1BN

Driver Assistant Volunteer - Christchurch

Could you support your local PDSA shop - and help us care for the pets of people in need?

Every PDSA shop needs an amazing team of volunteers to make it a success and we’re on the lookout for people to join us.

Our shops raise funds to support our 48 pet hospitals and increase awareness of the work we do to get the nation PetWise.

With some roles, you may have the opportunity to become a Lead Volunteer or to gain a nationally recognised qualification (NVQ). Lead Volunteers are trained in all aspects of running the shop and can deputise for the manager, so this is a fantastic opportunity that would really enhance your CV.

There are many different ways you can help and even a couple of hours a week will make a difference.

 

The Role

If you enjoy driving, love meeting new people and have a few spare hours each week, this volunteering opportunity could be exactly what you're looking for.

What will you be doing?

As a volunteer driver assistant, you will be representing PDSA, supporting volunteer drivers collecting items from people who have things to donate but are unable to bring them into our shop.

What skills do I need?

  • Are you able to follow instructions?
  • Are you friendly and courteous?
  • Are you organised and reliable?
  • Are you able to lift and carry bags of donated stock and other items?

A couple of hours a week can make a difference, so why not apply today and help save a pet’s life? Apply now or call into your local shop and have a chat to our team for more details.

PDSA positively encourages volunteer applications regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, adults at risk and all our colleagues and expect everyone who works for us to also share this commitment and to treat people with courtesy and respect.

To support this commitment, our recruitment & selection processes are robust and rigorous and all appointments will be subject to satisfactory references and appropriate background checks. A basic DBS check is required for this role.
