What You’ll be doing

Do you enjoy working with people and making a positive difference in your community? We’re looking for a reliable and caring Driver Assistant to support the safe transportation of children, young people and adults across Luton.

In this varied role, you’ll help ensure passengers travel safely and comfortably, communicate effectively with service users, families and colleagues, and respond calmly to unexpected situations such as vehicle delays or breakdowns. You’ll also carry out daily vehicle checks, follow traffic regulations and support the delivery of an inclusive, respectful service.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone with experience driving vehicles larger than cars, excellent communication skills, and a professional, customer-focused approach. You should be able to work flexibly when delays occur, undertake heavy lifting when required, and demonstrate an understanding of equality, diversity and safeguarding.

A full current D1 driving licence and successful independent driving assessment are essential. Applicants must be aged 23 or over for insurance purposes and be willing to complete regular training, including safeguarding, first aid, autism awareness, dementia awareness, MiDAS and PATS.
