Van Driver
In this role you will be helping us immensely, picking up and delivering bikes to and from individual people and organisations, including young and adult people receiving our free referral bikes.
You will also help us save bikes from landfill by taking the steel, aluminium and tyres to nearby recycling centres, and occasionally you will help us deliver outreach sessions to help young people thrive!
The van driver is really the person that keeps the organisation up and running, and you’ll be representing and connecting us with the wider public.
Commitment
We need someone who can commit to driving the van at least one or two Wednesdays a month. Please, note that this is a whole day job, starting at 9am and finishing at around 3 or 4pm
What skills do I need?
- Full, clean driving licence
- Be able to commit at least one Wednesday a month
- You’ll be loading and unloading bikes from the back of a van, so you need to be physically fit enough to handle this.
