Bank Driver

About the Role

Looking for a responsible and rewarding driving job that gives a flexible choice of hours during overnights, evenings and weekends? Join the team supporting our Out of Hours service in Surrey and play your part in ensuring better healthcare for your local area.

This is not an emergency service and you will need to follow all the normal rules of the road.
