About this opportunity: | MyBus community transport provides a range of affordable, reliable, accessible transport services to groups and individuals unable to access suitable public transport. Lots of groups need transport - Pensioners clubs, playgroups and youth clubs are just some examples. Drivers will be required to provide assistance to passengers in boarding and alighting the vehicle and some may require the use of the passenger lift. This is an ideal opportunity to meet new people and be part of a service making a real difference in the local community. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
