Van Driver - Maidstone
Tools with a Mission
TWAM operates a fleet of five modern vans based around England and Wales. The vans’ primary role is to collect tools from our network of Tool Collectors, who have already collected these tools from the general public and take these back to the Refurbishment Centre for unloading.
There are three roles with the Van Team. 1. Van Driver: Our van drivers drive the vans and help load and unload the tools. 2. Driver’s Mate: When we know there are heavy tools to collect, we like to send a Driver’s Mate willing to help with the loading but not wanting to drive 3. Van Manager: Each van has a volunteer manager who arranges the collection schedule, organises the driver rota, and looks after the van. Together they make up our amazing van teams.

The vans’ primary role is to collect tools from our network of Tool Collectors, who have already collected these tools from the general public and take these back to the Refurbishment Centre for unloading. Before each journey, the drivers must also run through a vehicle check to ensure the van is safe to drive. The drivers and mates build great relationships with the Tool Ambassadors they go to regularly, so it is always more than just loading the tools and driving.

Driving (must have full driving license)
UK Driving Licence, Organising & Planning
You must be a safe driver and confident driving our fleet of modern vans. We will take you on a test run to check you are comfortable and we are happy with you driving the van. Drivers must be physically fit and capable of safely lifting heavy tools. You must be a friendly face of TWAM as you collect from our enthusiastic and hard-working Tool Collectors. Legally, we will have to check your driving licence regularly to confirm you can legally drive in the UK.
You’ll be part of a great team and have lots of opportunities to visit our Tool Collectors and busy Refurbishment Centres. You will receive a TWAM polo shirt and fleece. Without our vans, we wouldn’t have any tools! That is the amazing difference our van team makes as they travel the UK collecting all the tools from our Tool. Collectors. We wouldn’t exist without you. So you should also have a warm feeling of how you are helping to create livelihoods.
