"Community Health Bus" Driver

The NGPS Community Health Bus Driver is a crucial link in delivering essential healthcare services to the community in and around Newcastle Upon Tyne. As the number of patients requiring health interventions continues to rise, our 3.5-tonne NGPS Community Health Bus serves as a mobile healthcare unit, dedicated to transporting equipment to designated locations. The driver's primary responsibility is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the vehicle, facilitating the Outreach Service's mission to provide timely and accessible healthcare support. By safely navigating the roads, the driver enables the healthcare team to deliver interventions that address patients' long-term health conditions and social welfare needs. In addition to transportation, the driver plays a pivotal role in the pre- and post-operation setup of the Community Health Bus. This involves meticulous attention to detail in preparing the vehicle for healthcare interventions and ensuring its secure closure after each operation. The driver's commitment to these operational aspects contributes directly to the seamless execution of health services, emphasising the importance of reliability and professionalism in delivering healthcare on wheels. Furthermore, the NGPS Community Health Bus Driver actively engages with patients by and accurately logging information. By upholding safety standards, adhering to traffic regulations, and delivering excellent customer service during transportation, the driver becomes an ambassador for Community Health. The overarching purpose is to bring healthcare services closer to those who need them, fostering a healthier community in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
