DRIVER RECRUITMENT OFFICERS

(This ideally needs 3 people dedicating up to 5 hours each a week to thinking of new ways - and acting on ideas - to reach UK citizens who would love to become Volunteer Wildlife Drivers)…  We want to be playing our part to save the lives of 120,000 wildlife casualties every month, across the UK, by 2028.  We are going to need 1000s of drivers spread out across the UK, supporting their local areas).

PROCESSING NEW DRIVERS

Monitoring our Drivers Database and contacting any new Driver applicants within a few days, equipping them with carriers and disinfectant and then asking them which of their local Rescues and Vet Practices (showing them our two maps, with the Vet Practices & Wildlife Rescues that we are supporting) that they want to drive for and moving them onto those lists. (We already have one great Volunteer helping with this and we are looking for another to work alongside her).

TRANSPORT CO-ORDINATOR

Committing to a minimum 5hr shift, once a week, during 9-5hrs, taking telephone calls from Vet Practices & members of the public who require transport help for wildlife casualties/orphans & securing Rescue spaces for the animals, as well as finding the nearest Drivers, securing one of them to kindly do the transport job and monitoring the safety of the Driver until they get home.

HELPING VETS TO HELP WILDLIFE CASUALTIES (IN PRACTICE)

Would you like to help the Wildlife Care Badge (an important partner of UKWT) get this Vet Wildlife Support Package out to Vet Practices across the UK, so that they can help more wildlife casualties?

 

[This package was created BY wildlife experienced Vets, FOR Vets Practices across the UK, to help Vets Practices to more quickly and easily treat wildlife casualties that get brought into them by members of the public, before they are transported on to local Wildlife Rescues for longer term rehabilitation.]

ORGANISING DRIVERS LISTS FOR VET PRACTICES & WILDLIFE RESCUES ACROSS THE UK

Coordinating between UKWT and all of the Vet Practices & Wildlife Rescues that we are supporting: for every new Vet Practice and/or Wildlife Rescue that we add to our maps, to support with our Volunteer Wildlife Drivers, I need a wildlife loving Admin Volunteer whose role it is to create a new list of Drivers just for them.  This involves….  Letting our databases of Volunteer Wildlife Drivers know - by a mass email - when we have new some new Vet Practices & Wildlife Rescues on our maps and asking them to check if they are in their area and if they want to serve them as one of their Volunteer Wildlife Drivers.  Once the Drivers who are local to the new Vet Practices & Wildlife Rescues have got back to us to confirm that they are happy to transport for them, the next step is making up a bespoke list for each Wildlife Rescue & Vet Practice (with the Driver names and numbers on) for the Vet Practices & Wildlife Rescues to start utilising.
