You will be helping a group project designed to help refugees living in Inverness to get out in the local area (and maybe further afield!) to experience hillwalking in the Highlands. We want to give them the opportunity to see more of the beautiful nature we have in Highland, and to learn skills and gain experience which will enable them to access outdoor space beyond the end of the program. In order to reach different start points for our walks we need to hire a minibus- and here is where you come in! We need a team of competent drivers who hold minibus licenses who will help us to get the group out of town and into more varied locations. It will involve picking up the community minibus from Nairn, meeting the participants, driving with the group and the mountain leaders to the walk start point, and returning the journey at the end. You will also be able to join the group walks and explore together, while meeting new people. Please reach out to Anna Holda at Anna.Holda@highlifehighland.com

.Driver for people and families with Cystic Fibrosis. Provide essential support as a driver by helping people affected by Cystic Fibrosis get to medical appointments. Our drivers provide transport for people affected by Cystic Fibrosis to hospital appointments. Our clients do not need any physical help getting in and out of the vehicle and our drivers use their own car. Children and adults with Cystic Fibrosis have to attend regular clinic appointments in. Traveling in public transport poses risks of infection and waiting for transport in our typical inclement weather is undesirable because of their chronic lung condition. Our drivers provide transport from home ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. This service makes a real difference by reducing some of the pressure on families. Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, life limiting genetically inherited condition with 1 in 25 people carrying the faulty gene that causes the condition. There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. The Butterfly Trust is the leading provider of social support to the Cystic Fibrosis community of Scotland. Our aim is that people living with Cystic Fibrosis will have access to the support they need to ensure they can benefit from optimum homecare and enjoy the best quality of life in the community. Must have a driving licence and access to a smoke free car.
