Bradford on Avon Link is a community based charity that provides transport (largely for medical or associated journeys) for local people in Bradford on Avon and surrounding villages. We deliver our clients to their appointments, wait for them and return them home. Clients donate what they can pay to the charity to cover the fuel costs. Our drivers are refunded a standard mileage rate.
We are currently in need of coordinators and drivers.
Coordinators (two days a month) to connect clients with drivers
The duty of a coordinator is to take calls (in their own homes) from clients, log them and find a driver (from the contacts list) willing to do the journey, send the driver the details of the job (via email or text) and then confirm the drivers name and pick up time with the client. The charity provides the coordinator with a mobile phone and a computer for the duration of their duty which is two consecutive days each month (days of their own choosing) Coordinators usually deliver the equipment to the next person on duty at the end of their duty.
The coordinators work on Monday, Tuesday , Thursday, Friday. (Not on a Wednesday) from 0930-1630.
The coordinator needs to have a little knowledge of computers though they are coached in our software and are able to shadow our lead coordinator for a period.
Drivers (as often or as little as suits) to take clients to and return them from their appointments.
Drivers use their own cars and are paid mileage at 45 pence per mile. They can take on as little as one drive a fortnight or as many as suits.
All drivers must have comprehensive insurance and will require a DBS check.
Drivers and coordinators are constantly being told by very grateful clients what a wonderful and essential service they provide. Also as volunteers we too get a great deal of satisfaction by providing this service.
