Minibus Driver. Requires category D1 driving license - automatic if passed driving test prior 1997.
Most duties involve collection vulnerable passengers from their homes and taking them to various places of interest. You will receive some training, and there will always be two passenger assistants with you to look after the passengers. Drivers and passenger assistants are asked to commit to at least one trip per month. Many do more than this. As a volunteer it is incredibly rewarding work because you can see and hear how much the passengers enjoy and appreciate their trips on Bertie.

About Bertie Bus
Bertie Bus exists to help relieve social isolation and loneliness of senior citizens who are virtually housebound as a result of age-related frailties and who are as a result unable to independently socialise outside their home environment. We achieve our objective by providing a specially constructed minibus with a tail lift and the facility to transport wheelchairs. The bus is used to offer door to door transport supported by Passenger Assistants to groups of eligible passengers to various destinations offering the ability to socialise.
