Volunteer Van Driver

As a volunteer van driver, you will be helping to support the vital work of Caritas Salford by providing valuable assistance in the transportation of donations and other materials. Your role will be instrumental in helping us raise funds for our cause and make a difference in the lives of those in need in our community. Your help will be greatly appreciated, and you will be a valued member of our team.

Our electric van is based at Caritas House in Collyhurst, Manchester (where there is access to parking) but you’ll do regular collections from donor businesses to our services in Hulme and Collyhurst, Manchester and Bury. Increasingly we’re receiving offers of support from across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, but most are within a 45-minute journey of the centre of Manchester.

We are particularly looking for people to volunteer either Monday or Friday.

Volunteer Location Accessibility:

We are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive environment for all volunteers. Unfortunately, given the nature of the van, we have access to, we are not able to offer this specific role to some who need an adapted vehicle.

We have parking and public transport nearby.

Having a criminal record is not necessarily a bar to volunteering within the organisation. This will depend on the nature of the position and the circumstances and the background of the offences.

Prior to starting with us you will be required to complete four mandatory online training modules.
