4. Ensuring the vehicle is roadworthy by completion of the daily check list that is provided by the Community Bus and reporting back to them any issues that are observed
Requirements for the role
1. A full clean driving license
2. An enhanced DBS check will be undertaken as part of the onboarding to become a volunteer
3. A helpful, patient and caring attitude
What we can offer
1. Induction giving an understanding of the role that Home-Start plays in the lives of our families
