Milroy Lodge is an accommodation facility for country cancer patients and their carer’s, who need to stay in Perth for cancer treatment. Cancer Council WA recognises the difficulty patients living in regional and outer metropolitan areas may experience getting to medical treatment centres. We provide a Volunteer Transport Program to assist people to access specified treatment centres.

  Volunteer drivers are integral to the provision of this service and drive Cancer Council vehicles to safely transport patients to and from medical appointments.

  Requirements:

• Safely transport clients to and from medical appointments • More than 5 year's driving experience; current 'C' class driver's license and good driving record • Complete the driving log and submit monthly activity data as required • Report any maintenance or repair of vehicle requirements to supervisor • To be mindful of the distress of a cancer diagnosis and use a sensitive approach • Maintain regular contact with and provide feedback to supervisor • Attend a volunteer induction and any role-related training • Participate in an annual reflection and any relevant team meetings

This is an ideal volunteer role for someone with the skills and motivation to provide supportive care to cancer patients, their families and carers.

We are currently seeking relief drivers for this supportive care program which operates from Milroy Lodge in Shenton Park on a weekly basis from Monday to Friday 8am-4pm.

  As with all Cancer Council volunteer roles, you will be joining our team in the fight against cancer and making a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.

With a Reflection RAP, and a commitment to “closing the gap” we encourage Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander candidates to apply.
