Volunteer Drivers

Are you ready for an exciting opportunity as a ‘Care Cars’ voluntary driver within Mid and South Essex Foundation Trust?  Are you friendly, caring and compassionate?

We are a busy and growing team looking for dynamic individuals that are looking to help drive our patients to and from their hospital appointments. We particularly need drivers for the Basildon, Thurrock, Canvey and Southend areas.

You will play an essential role in helping provide outstanding patient care, supporting new patients who may be travelling to hospital for the first time or being a friendly face for our frequent patients.

If you have everything above and want to be part of an ever growing volunteer network within our dynamic organisation, we would really love to hear from you.
