Care in Weybridge (CSVA)
Care in Weybridge runs a team of volunteer drivers who drive mainly elderly people to doctors, hospital appointments, shopping etc.
Every weekday a duty officer receives phone calls and finds a driver to carry out each request, averaging 5 a day.
The Duty Officer is at the centre of CARE’s operation. Some Duty Officers also drive, some do only the Duty Officer role. Either way, you will be fully trained and supported in the job.
You work from your own home, taking client calls on our mobile phone, between 9am and 12pm. From a list provided, you then ring round until you find a volunteer driver who is free to take the caller to their appointment. Simple records are kept on volunteer and client card indexes, a day book and a diary.
All the equipment for your session is contained in a case, which is delivered to you by the previous Duty Officer.
You will find that some days are busy and some are much quieter. Most of our Duty Officers find the role both stimulating and enjoyable, as well as being easy to fit into their otherwise busy lives.
Friendly. Ability to record and give accurate information re addresses etc. Good telephone manner.

You work from your own home, taking client calls on our mobile phone, between 9am and 12pm. You can add your name to the Duty Officers’ rota to suit your diary – once a week, once a month or whatever you are able to fit in - there's no minimum commitment.
This opportunity can be carried out whilst working from home.
