Part Time Driver

We are looking for an experienced driver to join our small team of minibus drivers. Drivers play a vital role in delivering our services, transporting our members to and from groups each day of the week, driving them to additional events and day trips, and (occasionally) driving other community groups who wish to hire the bus and driver for trips out.

The ideal candidate will be able to reliably commit to the same one or two groups each week, demonstrating excellent communication skills to build up relationships with members and carers.

As part of a busy team, you may occasionally be asked to provide cover for other drivers during leave or sickness periods. You will safely and confidently drive either our 16-passenger Together Dementia Support minibus or our 10 seater minibus to and from groups, picking up passengers, ensuring they are safely secured inside the vehicle, and making sure they have a pleasant trip out.

You will perform basic health and safety maintenance, carrying out pre-journey vehicle checks, checking fuel levels and making sure you have the most efficient route for your current journey. Trustworthy and dependable, you will ensure that members leave their homes safely and enter safely when they return home.

You will keep accurate records of attendees and miles driven on your trips. Drivers are welcome to stay and participate in group activities, but this is not an essential part of the role. You need to have a D1 Classification and hold a full clean UK driving licence.

With an enthusiasm for helping people and an interest in learning, you will have the opportunity to attend training and development as part of your work for TDS. This role would suit a semi retired person or a person with minibus driving experience and also somnone with experience working in the community.
