For 4Sight Vision Support

As a 4Sight Vision Support driver you will enable people with sight loss to access our designated social clubs. Using your own transport, you would collect members from their agreed location, transport them to the club and return them as agreed. Our clubs usually operate weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Drivers are requested to use their own vehicle (mileage allowance paid). You may be required to assist members in and out of the vehicle but only if appropriate and safe to do so.

Skills

The passion to make a positive difference to people with sight loss would be advantageous. Having courteous and competent driving skills is a must. To have good communication skills and the ability to work with vulnerable people is essential. Being flexible, reliable and self-motivated is key due to the nature of this role.

Specific role requirements:

  • Clean, full driving licence
  • Roadworthy vehicle
  • Up-to-date MOT certificate
  • Full vehicle insurance
