Volunteer Driver

A standard driving licence is all you need to deliver our food once or twice a week to children's clubs, homeless hostels and refugees in your area. We've got the cans, we just need you!

What will I be doing?

• You will be the vital link between us and the charities, getting the food to where it's needed.
• Dropping off the weekly orders of food at local charities and collecting surplus from local food businesses with the help of a Driver's Assistant.
• You'll be the friendly face of FareShare interacting with the charities, making sure they get the food they need.
• Working with other volunteers to load up the van with daily deliveries before you head out.

Benefits:

• Active and sociable role, building relationships directly with the charities we support.
• Gain a variety of skills, such as route planning, organising and communication skills.
• Working reference available after 3 months in the role.
• You will directly ensure that good quality food is not wasted and gets into the hands of the people who need it.
• Reasonable travel expenses and a free lunch.
