Are you a secure and reliable driver who also has a genuine passion for caring for older people and supporting people living with disability?

Uniting is looking for a compassionate and experienced Bus Driver / Carer to join our Transport Services team in the Sydney Metro region.

This is a unique role that combines professional driving with hands-on care and support. You’ll be responsible for safely transporting residents and clients to and from Uniting locations, appointments and outings, while making sure they feel comfortable, respected and supported every step of the way.

? About the Role

As a Bus Driver / Carer, you’ll provide safe and comfortable transport for our residents and clients, many of whom may have mobility needs, dementia, developmental disabilities or other complex support requirements.

You’ll be more than their driver — you’ll be a familiar, friendly face they can rely on.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Safely transporting residents and clients between their homes, Uniting locations and community activities




- Driving clients on outings and assisting with the planning of activities where required
- Helping residents safely enter and exit the bus
- Providing mobility assistance, including support with wheelchairs
- Supervising clients throughout journeys and outings and ensuring their safety and comfort
- Providing appropriate personal care and support, including toileting and hygiene assistance
- Assisting with meals, morning teas and afternoon teas during outings
- Supporting clients with activities and other care needs
- Assisting with medication in accordance with Uniting policies and procedures
- Maintaining client dignity, privacy, choice and independence at all times
- Completing daily vehicle logs and other required documentation
- Ensuring the vehicle is clean, safe and well maintained
- Reporting servicing, repairs, hazards or safety concerns promptly
- Following emergency procedures and all WHS and infection-control requirements

? More Than Just Driving

For the people we support, a bus trip can be so much more than simply getting from one place to another.

It can mean getting out into the community, seeing friends, enjoying an outing, attending an activity or simply having the opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery.
