Citizens Advice are looking for dedicated volunteer home library drivers to help us deliver library books to people across Sandwell who are unable to access libraries due to disability, illness, frailty, or full-time caregiving responsibilities.
The role involves: At the beginning of the shift, pick up library materials from a designated library and drive these resources to a list of clients’ homes, ensuring the safe and timely transport of these resources.
Follow a 4-6 weekly rota to drop off and pick up these resources (so the routes and clients are familiar to you).
When you drop off the resources, if vulnerable clients look like they need support (we train you to identify this) you will inform our Coordinator who will undertake an assessment.
Citizens Advice offers advice and assistance, with offices across the Black Country.
