Driver For 12 Seater Minibus

We are looking for people aged 25+ to drive our 12 seater minibus for either a morning or afternoon once or twice a month. All drivers must have a clean licence to comply with the terms of the insurance for the minibus.

We are a small independent charity that has existed for 30 years, initially set up to provide trips to local libraries for elderly and / or disable people in Gosforth and surrounding area. We still do this but also run shopping trips to local supermarkets and community groups can hire the minibus for half or full day trips to places of interest.

Some drivers do a regular trip each month, others just cover trips when people are on holiday if they are available. We sometimes have one off bookings from local organsations and an e mail request is sent to all drivers who respond if they can help.

The people who use the services we provide very much appreciate getting out and about. Our current team of drivers have been with us for 6-8 years, some longer they are getting older and we need to find more.

Skills

• Clean, valid driving licence required (ideally D1 category, but not essential)
