Branch volunteer driver

This role is vital to help RSPCA branches help needy animals.
 

What does the role involve?

The role of a volunteer branch driver involves transporting animals to and from the local vets for any treatments they may need during their stay with a branch.

You will need to have your own vehicle, and drivers must have a valid driving licence, MOT (if applicable) and valid insurance.

Cat cages and dog crates will be used in order to transport animals safely, so your vehicle needs to be suitable for this.

Experience of handling animals and an interest in animal welfare is essential.

Therefore we ideally require a commitment from you to volunteer regularly. Your local branch or centre can provide specific details.

The opportunities to volunteer with animals vary from area to area. Use the volunteer vacancy search on the right to find practical animal care vacancies near you.

Could you be a fosterer?

Some of our branches and centres operate fostering schemes. As a volunteer fosterer, you will look after animals in your own home, until such a time as the animal finds a new home. Find out more about becoming a volunteer fosterer.

Other volunteer roles

Although not all areas can offer practical hands-on volunteering roles, other volunteer roles still contribute significantly to our work to improve animal welfare.

If you can't get involved in a practical role in your area, why not consider another volunteer opportunity where you can still give your time to make a difference to animal welfare?

Please note: unfortunately we have limited volunteering opportunities for anyone under the age of 16, especially in practical animal care.
