Current Opportunities at Arun Community Transport
Arun Community Transport is looking to recruit someone to manage our day-to-day operations across the Arun District in the role of an interim service coordinator.
ACT is a voluntary organisation that provides transport services to those who cannot easily access public transport. We ensure residents can attend vital appointments like doctors, hospitals, and dentists. We also reduce social exclusion by taking people to clubs, shopping, hairdressers, or visiting friends and family.
We are looking for someone to coordinate our service and lead our staff and volunteers in the daily operations of our charity.
We'd love to hear from you if you are an enthusiastic, well-organised person who wants to make a difference in our community by supporting our service growth.
This post is for 25 hours a week for six months (26 weeks) (£28,163 PA Equivalent)
ProRata 6 months £9,514.53
It will be based in our Dove Lodge Community Resource Centre office, but flexible working would be needed to cover meetings.
To apply, please submit a CV and a supporting statement (no more than two pages of A4) detailing how your skills match the skills we require, along with details of two referees.

Call for Driver Volunteers
​
We need to recruit more drivers to continue meeting the increasing demands for our service. Drivers use their own vehicles, and the charity will carry out a DBS (police check). Most insurers recognise the value of community transport and include this at no additional cost.
Drivers are paid mileage for their trips at 45p a mile, with a minimum payment of £5.00.
We are happy to have drivers who can offer regular days each week or month and also those who can offer different days each month. Whatever time you can give will be much appreciated.
Office Administration Volunteers
We are looking for people to join our office team.
​
We are currently looking for people to help book the trips, answer the telephone and process the information onto our booking system. Full training will be given, but the booking system is straightforward.
Patience is the most important skill needed as some of our clients need a bit of time and support when arranging their trips.
The hours are what you have time for. The office is open from 9 am to 2 pm, five days a week.
If you think that this may be something you could do or if you are interested in having more information, please contact:

Trustees
The trustees have strategic control of the charity as a corporate body.
We have four meetings a year, usually held in the afternoon on a Wednesday.
Trustees are also encouraged to visit and help in the daily operation occasionally.
No specialist knowledge is needed, just an interest in helping us run our charity.
