We are currently recruiting for a Minibus Driver to provide reliable transport for our staff across our care homes.

The role will therefore involve mainly early morning and evening driving, with the exact routes and timings depending on staff transport requirements.

Requirements:

• Ideally been in a similar line of work previously.
• Reasonably flexible with shifts (availability to be provided a week in advance).
• Must hold a category D1 clean driving licence.
