Volunteer Meals on Wheels driver – Masterton

Job Description

### Join our Masterton Meals on Wheels (MoW) team!
We're urgently looking for friendly volunteer drivers to deliver meals in Masterton and surrounding areas. Shifts start and end at the meal pick-up point at Hospital Food Market, Lansdowne in Masterton.

### Your tasks
Most of our drivers deliver meals once a week or every two weeks, however shifts are flexible.  
•    Start your shift between 11.00am and 11.30 am, Monday to Friday. A delivery run takes about one hour.               
•    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. 

### Volunteer requirements and training
You’ll need to be a friendly person who has their own car and a valid driver's licence. We’ll train you in how to carry out the role and you’ll be supported by Red Cross volunteers or staff members.    

Meals on Wheels volunteer onboarding may take anywhere between 2-6 weeks depending on your availability and the availability of the local coordinator. NZ Police response time can vary from a few days to about a month after we submit the Police-Vetting request. 

You'll need to follow our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policies and procedures, which will be advised during training.
