Job Description
Drive for Life is a driver training and mentoring program that equips young people who are overcoming adversity, to obtain their drivers license. The program removes the barriers and provides a pathway towards positive role models, developing independent life skills and improving employment prospects.
We are looking for volunteers to help young people get through the licensing process - both theory and practical. The Volunteer Driving Mentor will be required to sit in the car with program participants, assist in logging necessary hours and reinforce safe driving skills. (Salvation Army vehicles will be used - personal cars will not be needed).
This is as much about engaging both young people and mentors in their community as it is about licensing; we know that feeling part of a community assists with building a sense of belonging, improved mental health, developing pro-social behaviours and connecting to a shared social responsibility.
Driving, mentoring, training case work or similar experiences are highly regarded for the role.
Opportunities available in Stafford, Queensland.
Mandatory Requirements of the Role
Complete The Salvation Army's volunteer registration, induction modules and any other training as required
Criminal History Check (Police Check) and WWCC (QLD Blue Card) are required for the role
Applicants must have a valid drivers license and a good driving history
Applicants must provide 2 references as it is a mandatory requirement for any role that works with persons under 18 years.
Time Commitment
Minimum 2 hour commitment a week (flexible) on an ongoing basis of at least 3 months.
Please advise your availability with your expression of interest
A role profile for this position is available upon request and will also be provided to the successful applicant during the interview process.
