Are you an experienced, reliable, and friendly driver looking for flexible work? This is a great opportunity for someone who holds a D1 driving licence category and enjoys working a varied schedule that fits around other commitments.

The Role

You will be responsible for safely transporting passengers on set routes and, occasionally, supporting school trips. Your primary duties will include:
Safe and timely collection and drop-off of passengers. Conducting pre-journey vehicle checks (PCV) on the Vectare app. Maintaining a professional and courteous manner with all passengers. Adhering to all traffic laws and company safety policies.

Hours and Availability

We are looking for drivers who are available for shifts during the following key periods:
06:00 - 08:30, 15:15 - 18:00 and 17.15-19.00, Monday - Friday term time only. Flexibility is key. Work will be offered on an ad-hoc basis to cover staff leave, sickness, or increased demand, but there may also be opportunities for fixed-term contracts. Additional driving work for school trips may also be available outside of the core commuting hours.

To apply for this role, you will need a valid D1 driving licence category (or a full D licence) and a clean driving record. You will be excellent at time-keeping and will be reliable, patient, calm, and have a professional attitude. A First Aid qualification or willingness to complete a course is desirable.
