Job description

Are you an experienced driver looking for a role that offers more than just time on the road? Transition into a fulfilling career as a Patient Transport Driver, where your driving skills and a passion for helping others come together in a role that truly makes a difference.

If your skills, experience, and qualifications match those in this job overview, do not delay your application.

Our Client OnCue Transport are recruiting NEPTS contractor drivers to fulfil the high demand for patient transport in the NHS.

In this role, you’ll support patients who need safe, reliable transportation to medical appointments, ensuring comfort and security along the way. The ideal candidate will have a valid Enhanced DBS certificate issued within 6-months. Full training will be provided at no cost to yourself, preparing you for a role that goes beyond driving and makes a real difference in people’s lives.

Why This Role Is Perfect For Experienced Drivers

• Driving with Purpose: This role is ideal for professional drivers who want to take their skills beyond transportation. You’ll be responsible for safely transporting patients to and from their medical appointments, ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the journey.
• Care at the Core: While driving is an essential part of the job, this role is deeply rooted in patient care. You’ll be trained to provide compassionate support, ensuring that each patient feels cared for and safe during their transport.
• High Earning Potential: As a self-employed Patient Transport Driver, you’ll enjoy increased flexibility while benefiting from high earning potential. Patient transport is in high demand, ensuring a steady flow of work.
• Work with a Leading Provider: Join OnCue Transport, a rapidly growing provider of non-emergency patient transport services for NHS Trusts and Ambulance providers, and be part of a team dedicated to delivering care through transportation.

Who We’re Looking For

• Experienced Drivers: If you have experience as a professional driver (e.g., taxi, delivery, or bus driving), your skills can transfer smoothly to this role, which combines safe driving with compassionate care.
• Licensed to Drive: Must have held a UK Manual Driving License for at least 3 years, with no more than 3 points on your licence.
• Empathetic and Caring: A genuine desire to support others is essential in this role, where you’ll work with patients who may be vulnerable or in need of reassurance.
• Strong Communicators: Ability to clearly and kindly communicate with patients, creating a calm and supportive environment.
• Physically Able: This role involves assisting patients with mobility, requiring a reasonable level of physical fitness.

This is a great opportunity to make a difference and learn new skills.
