Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle driver (North Cotswolds)
Cotswold Friends has a number of Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle’s (WAV’s) that operates in the North Cotswold and Cirencester areas, and we are currently looking for an additional driver for this vehicle in the North Cotswolds as demand is slowly increasing. Ideally you will live in the Moreton in Marsh area and have as much availability to drive as required.
As this vehicle is owned by Cotswold Friends it has to be staff that drive it so it will be on a zero hours contract, currently £12 per hour, this is calculated as the time taken from the vehicles depot in Moreton in Marsh, the length of drive, client appointment until return of vehicle.
Like volunteer car driving this is dependent on your availability, and you do not have to accept the drives, but we do need as much flexibility and availability as possible.
You will need to complete initially a couple of on-line training courses and training on using the wheelchair winch and fixings in the vehicle and be shadowed on your first drive, there will be a zero hour contract and associated paperwork to complete and then you will be good to go.
We also require you to complete a qualification called MIDAS – Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme. This will constitute an on-line e-learning theory course and assessment approx. 90 minutes. This is followed by a classroom-based session including a driving assessment and accessible wheelchair practical training.
This qualification lasts for 4 years. You must be willing to complete these qualifications also.
If this is something you would be interested in doing or if you would just like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
