• Completing daily check sheets, mileage records and relevant operational paperwork.
• Liaising with the Services Administration Co-ordinator and wider BIG BUS team to support the smooth running of the service.
• Day Shift work with no nights out.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in professional driving and enjoys a varied, purposeful role. You will be dependable, practical and confident working with vehicle systems and specialist equipment. Care, attention to detail and high standards are essential, as the BIG BUS must be set up, maintained and presented safely and professionally each day. You will understand the importance of protecting the vehicle, equipment and clinical environment, ensuring the service is ready to welcome staff and clients.

• Valid HGV licence and relevant driver qualifications.
• Strong understanding of vehicle safety checks and roadworthiness requirements.
