Volunteer emergency food delivery driver

For the past 8 weeks, ex-military volunteers have been working hard to alleviate pressures placed on the local authority due to Covid-19 by delivering emergency food parcels to the most vulnerable across the city.

As normality returns, demand continues to rise. Walking with the Wounded is looking for volunteer drivers to help deliver emergency food parcels to those who need them in Manchester. Volunteers are needed 10:00 – 18:00, 7 days a week but volunteers will only be required for maximum of 3 hours within these times.

WWTW supports all who have served in the Armed Forces and their families, empowering them to regain their independence, thrive and contribute in our communities.

We welcome interest from all members of the community, including those that have not served in the armed forces. Volunteers will be working alongside WWTW Volunteers who are ex-military and their families.

WWTW will provide volunteers with

•  A welcome pack including driver guidance and FAQs.
• A short induction from WWTW and Manchester City Council staff including health and safety/hygiene brief.
• Clear safeguarding guidance and a named WWTW contact to whom you can report concerns
• Use of Manchester City Council Fleet vehicles
• WWTW branded clothing to show affiliation with the charity
• Exclusive opportunities to attend WWTW flagship events and/or expeditions.
   

Volunteers will be expected to:

• Have a clean UK driving licence

• Be able to present proof of ID
• Take part in a short induction from WWTW and Manchester City Council staff including health and safety/hygiene brief.
• Read their welcome pack, including driver guidance and FAQs.
• Carry out action on behalf of WWTW in line with government Covid-19 guidance.
