Full job description

When there is a fire, flood or severe weather, we’re among the first to respond. You must be located within the Thurso area. This is a 24-hour service and volunteers will need to be available when on call. We would like volunteers who: - Are able to volunteer on a regular basis. - Have held a driving licence for at least 2 years which allows you to drive in the UK. - Are confident driving a large British Red Cross vehicle or leased vehicle. - Are able to attend monthly team meetings; 7pm-9pm last Sunday of the month. - Are available to undertake required e-learning modules and online training sessions in the first few months of volunteering plus other service specific trainings as required. - Can commit to volunteering for at least 12 months. *Due to the nature of this role, applicants must undergo a Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) check. Applicants will be asked to provide ID documents in support of the PVG check.* Diversity is something we celebrate. We want you to be able to bring your authentic self to the Red Cross and feel that you belong. We want to create an inclusive environment, and promote and spread the power of kindness. As part of creating an inclusive space we have an expenses policy that prioritises volunteers not being out of pocket for expenses linked to your role. If up front costs are difficult, you can speak to your volunteering manager about this to find alternatives. We welcome refugees, asylum seekers and others currently in the UK to volunteer with us. We want volunteering to be accessible to everyone. **Health and Safety Statement** We take an individual approach to ensuring your safety. We may ask you to complete a simple risk assessment and will also have a conversation with you to discuss and identify any adjustments you may need. *Unfortunately, we can’t accept applications from 15 – 17-year-olds for this role. Please get in touch and we can support you to find another role in your area.* If you have any questions before applying, please contact us at [[email protected]](url)
