We are looking for a special kind of person – a St Vincent’s kind of person. Someone who puts compassion, connection and caring for other people at the heart of everything they do. We’re seeking a dedicated volunteer bus driver who can assist with transportation for elderly residents in our aged care home. Your role will be crucial in helping residents participate in community activities and maintain a connection with the outside world.

Why Volunteer? Your driving skills can make a significant difference by helping elderly residents stay engaged with their community and enjoy various activities. By volunteering your time and driving skills, you’ll contribute to their overall well-being and provide them with valuable opportunities for social interaction and enjoyment.
Program Details:
- Commitment: Ideally, we are seeking someone who can commit to one Saturday/month for sightseeing trips that last a few hours. If you could possibly be a back-up for the other bus driver occasionally, that would be wonderful!
- Locations: Transport residents to and from various community locations and places of interest.
- Requirements: You will be over 18 with a valid driver’s license and willing to pass a National Criminal History Check (provided and paid for) and be consistently available.
