• Communicate with dispatchers and other team members to co-ordinate transportation schedules
• Responsible for assisting service users in and out of the vehicle
• Assist with the handing over of patients to appropriate staff on arrival at treatment centres/hospitals or to family/friends at their homes
• Ensuring that the vehicle is kept safe, clean and tidy, before and after every patient

To be considered as a PTS Driver, you will need to be:

• Committed to patient care
• An effective communicator and experience of communicating with others in what can often be emotional circumstances
• A calm, considerate, careful driver
• Have a natural flair for team working and collaboration
