Nightspot Driver - Logan Mission Australia’s Nightspot Youth Homelessness Program in Logan (Brisbane) is urgently seeking applications for volunteer Drivers. Nightspot is an emergency accommodation model that allows low-risk, vulnerable youth to stay in the homes of trained volunteers in the community for 1-7 nights, in order to have some ‘time out’ in a safe environment. All volunteering is done on a flexible roster basis, which is elected by the volunteer and designed to suit their lifestyle. What is required of Drivers?
Volunteer Drivers are trained in risk assessment and relevant youth-related issues, as one of their roles is to ensure that the young person is not under the influence of drugs, alcohol and/or inhalants at the time of pick up. An ‘instinctual’ feel for young people would be an asset in this role.
