We are looking for more volunteers to join this friendly team of drivers, delivering meals to people's homes where their circumstances make it difficult for them to prepare their own meals. Currently we have a need for drivers around Waikanae areas. In this role you will be delivering meals to private residences, you must have your own vehicle and have a current driver license. You must have the ability to work as part of team, take direction and work with minimum supervision. Meals are delivered Monday-Friday; however volunteers can choose which days they are available to volunteer.
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 Vet request.
You'll need to follow our Health, Safety and Wellbeing policies and procedures, which will be advised during training. You can also find more information on this on our tools and guidance for volunteers page.
The meals delivery happens in mornings. Typical delivery takes around one and half hours. Monday to Friday from 11.00 am to 12.30pm. You can select the date based on your availability.
