Wakefield, Wakefield, United Kingdom Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust Full time
Volunteer to help NHS patients in your region.

Do you live in Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire, have your own vehicle, and enjoy driving?

Would you like to play a vital role in the health and wellbeing of NHS patients, and become part of an incredible team?


Our non-emergency Patient Transport Service (PTS) helps thousands of people to reach their medical appointments every week, supported by our dedicated network of PTS volunteers as part of our Volunteer Car Service (VCS).


PTS volunteers provide non-emergency transport for patients who are able to walk but may need assistance and are eligible for transport, to and from hospitals and other healthcare settings.

This can include patients attending hospital outpatient clinics, being admitted to or discharged from hospital wards or needing life-saving treatments such as chemotherapy or renal dialysis.


Due to the nature of the role, we strongly advise our volunteers to be double vaccinated against COVID-19 and are up to date with all boosters.


As a PTS volunteer you will receive full training, a uniform, a first aid kit and a mileage allowance of 45p per mile, with an additional 5p per mile allowance when transporting a patient.

You don't need to have any previous experience as full training will be given, just be caring, friendly and have a willingness to help.


If you are successful at application stage, you will be invited to an informal interview over the phone on 31st May 2024.

Please note this is more of an informal chat than an interview.

You will then be invited to a driving assessment and a 2-day induction course

Driving Assessments:


You will be able to claim back mileage expenses for attending these training/assessment sessions once the recruitment process is complete.
