Drivers

Volunteer drivers drive clients to and from their cancer-related appointments. Drivers may choose to be available as little as a half-day per week or as much as five days per week. We do not provide rides on weekends or statutory holidays.

Drivers use their own vehicles and are reimbursed monthly for mileage driven as calculated by the Society using Google Maps. Some drivers choose to donate their mileage reimbursement back to the Society and receive an income tax receipt for the amount donated.

Requirements: Class 5 license, clean driver record, $3 million Third Party insurance coverage, and a clean, safe, reliable, and smoke-free vehicle. All volunteer drivers must undergo a Criminal Record Check.

Dispatchers

Cancer DriveLine dispatchers work from home using a web-based dispatch system. They take telephone and email bookings from clients, friends or relatives of clients, the Cancer Clinic, and other participating parties. They are responsible for ensuring the client qualifies for our service, registering the client, and arranging the drivers for the client rides.

Shifts are three hours long, commencing either 8:30am or 1:00pm, Monday to Friday. We do not answer the phone on weekends and statutory holidays.

Requirements: Warm telephone manner, computer literacy, and good spoken and written English. Full training is provided. All volunteer dispatchers must undergo a Criminal Record Check.
