Help transform lives like SS’
Hi, I’m SS and I go to The Riddrievale House Project for a short stay. When I visit Riddrievale House I like to go on day trips and go shopping. I have been to some exciting places such as Helix Park and the Loch Lomond shores. The project enables me to visit places that I would normally not be able to go and see.
The Riddrievale House is looking for enthusiastic carers who can help to make a real difference to people we support. The project provides short break respite for up to nine adults, in a comfortable relaxing environment. When people come to stay with us, they are on holidays, and we try to make it as fun as possible. Alongside residential respite we also deliver day to day care and run numerous group outings.
We are currently looking to recruit a Part Time Driver to join our busy team to safely drive the service minibus on various routes and at times determined by the service. You will pick up and drop off service users to and from the service to their centres/home addresses or activities as required.
You will ensure that the minibus is maintained regularly and ensure that any services required for the mini bus are carried out also making sure the MOT is complete before each deadline. You will be required to drive safely at all times complying with all current regulations, legal requirements and parking regulations.
You will have a full clean UK driving licence and be willing to work towards an SVQ level 2 qualification for the SSSC Regulatory Requirements.
Qualifications or experience are not essential. We offer excellent support, training and a salary of £12.60 per hour.
Are you ready to make a real difference to everyone at the Riddrievale House Project?
