Client Support Volunteer

Help a Shut-in Senior get a Ride?

The form below is for use by volunteers wishing to become a Client Support Volunteer with CarPal Community Rideshare.

Client Support Volunteers assess and train our new clients to use our service so that they can overcome Shut-in Syndrome by getting out and about around Sydney. This involves:

• Meet the Client (and/or Sponsor) to assess eligibility
• Explain processes used by CarPal, including role of Facilitators/Sponsors
• Enrol clients, including ID Pic & Agreement
• Create an entry for the Client in CarPal’s Ride scheduling App
• Provide Facilitator contact info to Client
• Monitor Client 1st Ride Requests

Provided you are 18 years or older and live in Sydney, you can help Shut-in Seniors join and successfully use the CarPal Community Rideshare service.

After we receive your details we’ll send you an email with information about obtaining a  Police Check and our induction and training program for the role. Some of the training is online.

This is followed by a few hours face-to-face in our Baulkham Hills office and then visiting new Clients accompanied by a CarPal Trainer.

The role involves visiting potential new Sydney Hills clients in their homes or retirement villages at a time to suit the volunteer.
