Job Description
Do you like driving?
Do you like meeting new people?
Do you want to give back to your community in your spare time?
If so, you may wish to apply to become a volunteer driver for Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
Our volunteer drivers enable our operational policing teams to have what they need delivered, where it is needed and at a time that enables them to support victims of crime. You don’t need to have any previous volunteering experience, just a friendly attitude and a full driving licence.
You will visit different locations within the Avon and Somerset area and your role will be to drive one of our fleet vehicles to facilitate the transport of property, equipment, and other items between locations and also to drive officers and staff to and from appointments when needed. You may also assist the Transport Services Department with collection and delivery of vehicles. You need to be able to undertake tasks unsupervised, organising your own schedule to maximise the best use of the vehicle and your time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our driver service operates between the hours of 8am-4pm Monday to Friday. The roster is built a month in advance around volunteer availability. You will have flexibility around how often you wish to volunteer to fit in with your other commitments. However, we would hope that volunteer drivers would commit to a minimum of 2 days a month.
In order to become a volunteer driver you must be at least 21 years old and have held a full driving licence (Category B) for a minimum of 12 months. This role requires you to provide your employment history for the last 3 years.
