Volunteer Driver
Do you enjoy being out on the road and want to make a difference for animals in your community? We’re looking for reliable, safety-conscious volunteers to join our team and help keep SPCA Invercargill running smoothly. Volunteer Drivers play an essential role in supporting both our animals and our wider community- ensuring animals, donations, and supplies get where they need to go safely and on time.

- Community & foster transport - delivering supplies, collecting foster animals, or assisting with appointment transport.
- Donation collections - picking up food, goods, or equipment from supermarkets, businesses, or community donors.
- General deliveries & errands - supporting one-off transfers or collections for your local centre or op shop network.
Volunteers will have access to an SPCA vehicle for these activities.
What We Are Looking For:
- Must be aged 18 years or older.
- Full, clean, current NZ driver’s licence.
- Safe, confident, and courteous driver with good local area knowledge.
- Reliable, proactive, and able to follow directions independently.
- Physically fit - some lifting, loading, and bending required.
- Good English comprehension.
- Able to drive both manual and automatic vehicles (preferred).
- Experience handling animals or driving vans is an advantage, but full training and support will be provided.
