  • Making over 65,000 trips a year, the Hato Hone St John Health Shuttle provides a free community service that helps people get to essential medical and health appointments.
  • This service is a lifeline for older individuals, those who are too unwell to drive, and people who can’t access other transport options.

As a volunteer driver for the Hato Hone St John Health Shuttle, you’ll:

  • Ensure clients safely reach their appointments on time
  • Provide a highly customer-focused service, with some clients requiring assistance
  • Show sensitivity and compassion toward those who may be unwell or in need of extra help
  • Stay physically fit to assist clients when needed

This is a rewarding and impactful role, where you can make a real difference in people's lives!

  • Have excellent communication and problem-solving skills
  • Are friendly, caring, and compassionate, with a genuine interest in others' well-being
  • Possess an aptitude for understanding diverse cultures
  • Are physically fit and able to assist with accessibility and support when needed

Please note: All appointments are subject to satisfactory completion of pre-employment checks, including references, police and driver checks, and medical clearance. Driving roles require meeting St John medical standards.

In return, we offer:

  • Relevant training, including First Aid Level 1
  • A uniform
  • Ongoing support
  • Hato Hone St John membership, which provides free ambulance service for your immediate family

The best gift you can give is time. Come join our team of volunteers, where the time you give is deeply valued in the community!
