Travel Buddy Volunteer

What Will a Travel Buddy Do?

As a Travel Motivator, you'll play a key role in helping our service users become more confident and independent when traveling locally. You’ll receive all the training you need to support them on their journey, with the goal of empowering them to travel independently within 12 weeks. It's all about motivation, encouragement, and helping them gain the confidence they need to navigate their community on their own!

What Experience Do You Need?

You need to be a UK resident. We are not accepting overseas applications. No specific experience required! We’re looking for passionate individuals who want to make a positive impact and are eager to learn. Whether you’re retired and looking to make use of your spare time, a student or job seeker wanting to develop new skills, or someone who lives locally (or nearby – our location is super easy to reach from the city centre), we want to hear from you! Local knowledge is a bonus, but it’s not essential – we’re all about making a difference, no matter your background.

If you’re excited about helping others and being part of a fun, supportive team, apply today!
