Volunteer Driver - Meals on Wheels, Upper Hutt

Job Description

Our Meals on Wheels service supports older, ill, and disabled people living at home who would otherwise struggle to provide healthy meals for themselves. MoW volunteers deliver hot meals and have a friendly chat with people in need in Upper Hutt and the surrounding neighbourhoods. 

Currently, we need a volunteer Meals on Wheels (MoW) driver immediately for the Ebdentown delivery run on Mondays. For other delivery runs, we are looking for relief volunteer drivers. The volunteer roster is filled for permanent shifts on other days. The relief drivers will receive the next available opportunity when a vacancy arises.  

Your tasks

Most of our drivers deliver meals once a week every two weeks, however shifts are flexible.  

  • Start your shift between 11.00am and 12.30pm (Monday to Friday). 
  • Pick up meals in your car.  
  • Deliver meals to people and have a brief chat at the door.   
  • Go home feeling good that you’ve helped someone out today.
