Volunteer Community Driver - Doreen

LINK Community Transport (LINK) is a not-for-profit Company that services, benefits and supports diverse community groups, inclusive of the ageing population, people of all abilities and their carers (including those with culturally diverse backgrounds) by providing life-enriching services through effective, accessible, and flexible social and home support.

For over 40 years we have helped thousands of Melbournians live better, more independent and connected lives through the provision of community transport services, domestic assistance, home maintenance services and carer respite. Our tailored transport services provide the missing link - connecting clients to services, as well as to their family and social networks. Our volunteer drivers do a lot more than just transport people to a destination - they are a vital connection and support. Simply put - we drive communities together!

Some reasons our customers use our transport are:

• Medical appointments
• Assisted activities at Shopping Centres/Supermarket
• Community and Social Outings
• Social and Cultural Club activities
• Aquatic and Recreational Activities

• You will receive extensive evidence-based training in all aspects of service delivery
• You will be supported 100% along the way
• We have a variety of vehicles to suit every driver, including sedans and minibuses
• We welcome all ages and backgrounds
• We recognise and value the skills, experience, and expertise of our volunteers
• We have fun here!
• We have been a volunteer-based organisation for over 40 years, so you can expect to always feel welcomed and well looked after here at LINK

• Give back to our community
• Make a positive difference in people's lives
• Meet people and make friends
• Gain professional experience and boost employment prospects
• Promote personal growth and self-esteem
• Meet your mutual obligation requirements with Centrelink

If this sounds like you, and you hold a Victorian driver's licence, then we would love to hear from you. In return, you will gain valuable experience, be part of a friendly team and feel great knowing that you are contributing to an amazing cause.

We are looking for drivers in Northern and Western Metropolitan Melbourne.
