Nepts Volunteer Car Service Drivers

7 months ago

Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust Full time

Volunteer Car Drivers use their own car to take patients to and from hospital appointments.

These volunteers are an integral and valued part of the NEPTS team, providing a valuable service to the community for patients with a medical need for transport, and who otherwise might struggle to get to their appointments.

To provide non-emergency transport for patients who are able to walk, but may need assistance to and from the vehicle, and are eligible for transport to and from hospitals and other healthcare premises.

Patients allocated to volunteers will be able to walk, but may need support, such as offering them your arm or carrying a bag for them. Volunteers are expected to assist each patient from their door or other departure point, into the vehicle (ensuring that the patient gets in and out of the vehicle safely and wears the seat belt), arrives at their destination safely and is assisted to the waiting area or back into their home

Voluntary work with EMAS is a great way of gaining experience in preparation for a career in health and social care. It's also a great way of giving something back to your local community. Volunteering is completely flexible and can be fitted around existing commitments such as study, work and family.
