Job description

Job responsibilities

• Driving is an essential skill for this role, so must have held a full manual driving licence for 12 months, with a provisional C1 category and no more than 6 penalty points. If a provisional C1 entitlement is held, the applicant must pass their C1 test before their start date.
• We are looking for people who can demonstrate our values of Customers, Staff and Standards in all that they do. So, if you clearly demonstrate that you meet the essential criteria, then we will invite you to an assessment day. This will include checks of your application paperwork, an interview, and a driving assessment in a large, manual, van-sized vehicle. We will need to see your driving licence before we can take you out for the driving assessment and you must have provisional C1 to undertake this assessment.
• Please read the person specification & job description carefully and make sure that all the minimum requirements are clearly noted on your application form in the correct place.
• Interviews and assessment days will be held at our Tockwith Station. You will be required to attend all assessments. These can be conducted in any order; however, they will be on fixed dates.
• All checks will be completed after shortlisting but prior to an assessment or interview invite.
• Our policies have been updated regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. All our frontline staff working in England who have face-to-face contact with service users are required to have both doses and their booster vaccine. Depending on the outcome of your application you may need to provide evidence that you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless you are medically exempt.
• We actively welcome job applications from candidates who have a disability or who are members of the BAME, LGBT and Armed Forces community (including: Reservists, Veterans, Spouses and Cadets). Here at OSR Medical we are proud to have a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve.
