Driver St. Buurttaxi Selwerd & Paddepoel

This is a volunteer position.

Buurttaxi Selwerd & Paddepoel is a project initiated by Wijkbedrijf Selwerd, in collaboration with the municipality of Groningen.
Buurttaxi provides accessible transportation for seniors and those in need of assistance in the Selwerd and Paddepoel neighborhoods. We hope this will encourage people with limited mobility to get out and about more often and maintain their social connections. This is important for this target group (self-reliance) and can sometimes be difficult to achieve via public transport.
The neighborhood taxi is designed for trips ranging from a few hundred meters to approximately two kilometers. The electric taxi has room for up to two passengers, and a folded walker can also be carried.

• You are reliable, patient, and have pleasant social skills.
• You get along well with elderly people.
• You are able to lift walkers in and out of taxis and sometimes help with (heavy) bags.
• You have some empathy for the limitations and abilities of elderly people.
• You are flexible with your working hours, which are always negotiable.
• The goal is to keep it enjoyable for everyone, both customers and volunteers.
• Experience working as a driver is a plus, but not required.
• You are available for at least 4-8 hours per week.
• You speak fluent Dutch and have a category B driving license.
