PATIENT TRANSPORT VOLUNTEERS

Could you, or someone you know, help us? 

Do you like driving? Do you like meeting new people? Do you have some time to spare? Are you based in Hampshire?

If so, have you considered becoming a Patient Transport Volunteer with South Central Ambulance Service 

Our Patient Transport Service helps hundreds of people access hospital services every day of the year. 

We are assisted by a dedicated professional band of Patient Transport Volunteers, who provide transport using their own cars, for patients who experience difficulties travelling to their non emergency but essential hospital appointments. 

Our volunteers come from many different backgrounds but all have a common bond in wanting to give something back to their communities!  No previous experience is required just a friendly caring attitude and some spare time. We offer complete flexibility so you can volunteer as little or as much as you like, whilst fitting in with other commitments. 

In recognition to your contribution we offer you

• Mileage Allowance (50p a mile) 
• Ongoing Support 
• Uniform and equipment 
• Volunteer Reward and Recognition

In order to become a Patient Transport Volunteer we require you to have the following:

•    Have access to a 4 door car
