Are you looking to earn as well as giving something back to our community?

Can you drive and are you looking for either full time or part time work in a contracted or flexible part-time varied role?

Community Transport Sussex supports those who are isolated and who struggle to use mainstream transport to access services, health appointments and social activities. We are looking for drivers who are community minded to support our service across the Chichester district.

If you would like a varied flexible job that gets you out and about and contributes greatly to the local community then we would like to hear from you.

You will need to have category D1 on your driving licence (you will have this if you passed your test before 1997) if you passed your driving test 1998 or later you do not hold a D1 category licence.

This role will require and enhanced DBS check. Full training will be given in all aspects of the work. Do you currently have a DBS Certificate? This is the Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate enabling you to work with the elderly, vulnerable people and children. This is not a pre-requisite as we would put you through this if you did not have one. So you would have to be prepared to undergo a security check which we would pay for.

We are looking for people who are interested in becoming a driver for us driving on both our DDRT Midhurst Service (Digital Demand Responsive Transport) and to be a driver on a School Run.
