Minibus Driving
Use your driving skills to help our groups of people with learning disabilities or autism get out and about.
We need Drivers Where & When Sign Up-
Minibus Driving
Ad hoc daytimes, weekends, weeks away
Drive for us
We often need experienced drivers to drive groups of our participants on outings, weekends away, and our Summer Camp.
You would be driving 12-16 seater minibuses supplied to us by community transport organisations and would join our activities for the day, weekend or week, so you can take part in all the fun too.
What do you need to drive our minibuses?
- You must have held a full B (car) licence for at least two years and you must be aged 21 or over ... or
- You must have passed your car driving test before 1st January 1997.
- You'll also need to take a quick road assessment with the community transport organisation we use; this just checks you can handle the size of vehicle safely - if you're an experienced driver you'll have no problem with it.
Check the Community Transport Association website for full details of who can drive for us.
