The Role
Requirements: Full, clean, manual UK driving licence
Be the Person Who Helps Doctors Reach Patients in Need
At IC24, we’re driven by purpose. We support patients when their GP surgery is closed, helping deliver urgent care to those who need it most. As an Out-of-Hours (OOH) Driver, you play a key role in making that happen—ensuring our doctors can safely reach patients across Sussex, day or night.
This is a role where every journey matters, every shift brings new experiences, and your contribution makes a genuine difference to people’s lives.

We support over 6 million patients through NHS 111, GP out-of-hours services, primary care and community healthcare. Our people are passionate, committed, and proud to make a difference.

Keep Our Doctors Equipped and Ready
* Prepare the OOH vehicle with essential medical equipment and supplies

* Help carry equipment to and from the vehicle when needed
Why This Role Matters

* Calm, reliable, and safety-focused
