Transport Volunteer

Transport Volunteer
Cats Protection
Description of the role:

A bit about this role:
If you enjoy driving and would love to use those skills to help our cats, this could be the role for you.
Our transport volunteers provide vital assistance to our teams and volunteer groups in the local area
by transporting equipment, litter, food – and even cats! They have the essential role of connecting
our network of volunteers, sites, vets and supporters.
Without the passionate and committed teams of volunteers across Cats Protection, we wouldn’t be
able to help the thousands of cats and kittens each year that rely on us for help.

What can you expect to be doing?
● Arranging and transporting equipment, litter and cat food
● Transporting cats to and from vets, foster homes and centres
● Transporting equipment to and from events

What are the benefits to you and the cats?
You will develop new skills, expand your knowledge and make a significant contribution to improving
the lives of cats and kittens by providing transport assistance to local volunteer groups and teams.
You will meet new people, make new friends and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers.

Support, guidance and keeping you safe:
At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We
provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local
volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have
policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding
children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
Thank you for joining us and sharing in this commitment and for everything you will do during your
time with Cats Protection.

We're looking for someone with:
● Good organisation and time management skills
● Knowledge of the local community
● A current driver’s licence
● Either access to a vehicle or happy to drive one of our Cats Protection vans
● The ability to carry out some heavy lifting

Practical information:
