• Making sure every resident is buckled up, comfortable, and safe on the road

• Keeping the vehicle clean and ready to roll

• Following our infection control and confidentiality guidelines

• Staying calm, kind, and helpful if a resident needs extra support during a trip

What We're Looking For

• A valid driver's license

• A positive attitude and a genuine care for our residents

• Prior experience driving wheelchair-accessible or medical transport vehicles is a plus — but not required, we'll train you!

• Comfortable assisting with mobility aids and lending a hand when needed

• CPR/First Aid certification is a bonus (or willingness to get certified)

• Great communication skills and a reliable, can-do attitude

• Flexibility to work around resident appointment schedules

Why You'll Love Working Here
