Volunteers
Volunteer Driver
One valuable opportunity is to drive clients to their medical or everyday appointments. This can be done in one of Stryder’s cars or even your own vehicle, if you prefer, should it be suitable. For drivers who have an LR licence you may be interested in driving our minibus for social or shopping trips.
Social Bus Assistants
Becoming a social bus assistant is the best job going around. Travelling on the bus and assisting clients to and from their door and into the bus. Then once all the passengers are on board, sit back and chat to the clients as you head out for the day. Not only are you helping others, but you also get to enjoy the scenery and try all the different lunch venues we visit. At the lunch venue, you are required to assist clients who need a bit of extra help carrying meals or simply offer a helping hand as they navigate steps or ramps.
Office Assistants
From time to time we need people who have administrative, reception or data entry skills to join the office team. Call our Office & Volunteer Manager to find out how you might be able to assist (02) 9816 5000.
