Volunteer Tea Party Driver - Carmyllie, United Kingdom - Re-engage
Description
Our tea party drivers are a vital part of the Re-engage team.
Tea parties provide a lifeline of friendship for our older people, and the regular, warm, friendly chats and companionship provide a vital link with the outside world from which they have become isolated.
Over time, drivers and older guests get to know each other well and together you will spend many hours full of fun, laughter, and stories.
As a tea party driver, you liaise with your group coordinator and take older guests to and from the tea parties each month.
You will need to have a full, clean, driving license, and either a DBS (in England and Wales) or PVG (in Scotland).
You will also need to check that you are covered by your regular motor insurance policy to do this role.
Tasks include:
- Driving one to two older guests using your own car to a tea party venue and returning them home again after the event .
- Staying at the tea party to help with conversation and serve refreshments.
- Liaising with the group coordinator to confirm which older guests you will pick up.
- Informing the group coordinator of any safeguarding concerns or issues you might have.
- Following all guidance in your driver training modules to ensure that the tea parties are enjoyable, appropriate, and in line with our charitable aims.
- Completing a driver declaration before your first tea party and on an annual basis. The declaration is to confirm you will adhere to Reengage's policies and procedures and that you have completed the relevant training provided for your role.
As a tea party driver, you will be responsible for picking up one or two older guests from their homes usually on a Sunday afternoon once a month.
You will drive them to either a host's home or a community venue for an afternoon get-together to socialise and enjoy some refreshments.
