Volunteering with us gives you the chance to work as part of a friendly team and will enable you to use and develop your skills in a supportive environment.  At CrossReach we are committed to creating a positive culture of volunteering.

Main Function

We're looking for a volunteer to join our team who can drive either a car or a mini bus.

  • An interest in helping vulnerable people in your local area
  • Able to follow codes of confidentiality and conduct (including Health and Safety)
  • Full and clean driving license 

The hours available are completely flexible. We’ll work around you and what spare time you have.

We will give you some training and a general induction linked with a member of staff, who will support you to volunteer.  Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Recruitment process

  • Fill in an application form
  • Come and meet us for an informal chat and bring along your drivers licence
  • At this visit, both or either party will decide whether to proceed with the application
  • The application process involves 2 references (not necessarily from an employer), completion of a self-declaration form and Basic Disclosure. These must be approved before you start.

Just as we work with clients of all faiths or none, we welcome service volunteers from all walks of life. We do ask that our service volunteers are in sympathy with our Christian ethos and values, but they are not required to share our faith.

Our Mission Statement is:  “In Christ’s name we seek to retain and regain the highest quality of life which each individual is capable of experiencing at any given time.”
