St John Scotland is looking for Volunteer Patient Transport Drivers to join our team in Ayrshire & Arran. The service supports patients from across Ayrshire living with chronic kidney disease to access dialysis treatment at the University Hospital Ayr. Dialysis treatment must be given three times a week, and for patients who would otherwise rely on taxi or ambulance transport, the St John Scotland service means they have a free, reliable and friendly service they can depend on. We are keen to recruit volunteers in good time so we can provide a reliable service to patients from the offset. The current service runs for University Hospital Ayr. Volunteer drivers collect passengers from their homes at a pre-arranged time, convey them to the clinic and return them home after treatment. Main volunteering tasks: • Safely transport patients from their home to the hospital, and back home again at a pre-arranged time • Liaise with the Patient Transport Coordinator and commit to regular shifts (there are morning and afternoon shifts Monday-Saturday) • You will not be required to actively help patients boarding and disembarking vehicles as all patients referred to the service are mobile Volunteer Recruitment process: • Submit the St John Scotland Volunteer Application form • Complete your membership of the PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) scheme. This is free for all volunteers. • Volunteer interview with the Patient Transport Coordinator • Informal driving assessment
