We’re hiring a Minibus Driver! (Patient Transport)
Make a meaningful difference every day
York Against Cancer is looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate Minibus Driver to join our dedicated team supporting cancer patients across York and the surrounding area.
This is far more than a driving role. Our drivers provide a vital lifeline for people attending radiotherapy treatment — often during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Your kindness, patience, and reassurance will matter just as much as your driving skills.
Salary: £12.99
Location: York
Reporting to: Head of People & Operations
Contract: Permanent – Job share
Hours: Circa 7 hours per day varies due to patient numbers and pick up locations around York
Working Days: Mon-Friday (3 days one week, 2 days the next on a rotating pattern)
About the Role
As a Minibus Driver, you will:
- Transport patients safely between their homes in York and St James’s Hospital in Leeds.
- Provide a warm, respectful and empathetic service to individuals undergoing cancer treatment.
- Assist passengers as needed while maintaining dignity and independence.
- Maintain high standards of vehicle safety, cleanliness and hygiene.
- Communicate clearly and sensitively with patients and the York Against Cancer team.
- Work flexibly to meet changing needs and service demands.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who:
- Holds a full UK driving licence with the correct entitlement to drive a minibus.
- Is a safe, confident and responsible driver.
- Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Demonstrates empathy, patience and emotional awareness.
- Takes pride in maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming vehicle.
- Is reliable, flexible and committed to delivering a high‑quality service.
- Shares our values and is passionate about supporting people affected by cancer.
Experience driving minibuses or working with vulnerable adults is desirable but not essential.
Why Join York Against Cancer?
- Be part of a purpose‑driven charity where your work makes a real and lasting difference.
- Do a role that truly matters, supporting people at a time when it means the most.
- Join a compassionate, values‑led team with strong community impact.
If you are a caring and dependable individual who wants to use your skills to support people when they need it most, we would love to hear from you.
