Our Patient Transport services are a lifeline for people who rely on us to get to hospital for life-saving treatments.
As a St John Scotland Patient Transport driver you are the friendly face patients see when they’re picked up at home on their way to treatment, or from the hospital once it’s complete. You’re the person who makes life easier, who they can rely on… and have a blether with!
As a volunteer driver you need to be between 21*(if using your own car) - 80 and hold a full driving licence. Depending on where you live, you may need access to your own car, but we’ll discuss this with you when you get in touch.
* Held license for min 2 years.
You’ll need to complete a PVG check and a driving assessment, and we’ll give you an induction, training and volunteer uniform.
We’re looking for Patient Transport volunteers in Dumfries and Galloway, Forth Valley, Fife, Angus and Dundee, Ayrshire and Arran, Elgin, Edinburgh and the Lothians.
If you are friendly, enjoy meeting new people, are organised and reliable, we’d love to hear from you.

If you think you could give more to our Patient Transport service as a volunteer Coordinator, we’d love to hear from you.
Volunteer Coordinators play an essential role in keeping the service on the road. They are the key contact between volunteer drivers, patients and treatment units. Coordinators organise driving rotas, deal with last minute changes, keep detailed records, and make sure the service is well run and maintained.
If you’re the kind of person who loves being organised, dealing with people and solving problems, this could be the role for you.
