• Are you experienced in supporting older people? Do you have the willingness to learn fast? Then we can offer you the driving career you’ve always wanted, with excellent benefits and flexible hours, including day and weekend shifts.

  What you’ll do

  Assisting members with their physical and emotional needs, you will do whatever it takes to help them get the most out of life. More than just a driver, you will be a true friend who champions their dignity and maximises their independence, and you will have an increasingly important part to play in the development of bus lists and the induction of new colleagues. You will be driving a sixteen-seat mini bus, collecting people from the surrounding area and taking them home at the end of the day. Going to the depot for fuel and any other business to do with the bus, repairs, services, mot’s and tail lift inspections.

  Who you are

  With a broad knowledge of caring for the elderly, you will be able to make a significant contribution from your first day. To succeed, you should be capable of prioritising your own workload, maintaining detailed records and using your initiative to the full, and you will be determined to develop your skills with our support. You must also hold a UK drivers licence with a D1. 

  Who we are

  With care homes and day clubs across the UK, we provide expert respite, residential, nursing, dementia and end-of-life care for older people. Our highly personal, patient-centered approach has seen us enjoy rapid growth, with three new homes planned for next year, so we can offer exceptional career opportunities to people who care as deeply as we do.

   

  What we offer

  As one of our valued drivers you can expect comprehensive training in general person assisted transport as well as dementia awareness. What’s more, we offer one of the best benefits packages around, including annual leave, a stakeholder pension and life assurance scheme, bank holiday enhancements, child care vouchers, thousands of online and in-store discounts and free uniform.
