The position and job tasks

Transport Service needs to expand with hourly employed drivers who can step in during sickness and holiday periods.

As a driver with us, you will transport school children with disabilities, seniors going to day activities, and users with disabilities going to daily activities. You are responsible for the vehicle you drive and for the safety of the passengers. During certain periods, you may need to deliver internal mail or be a courier.

You are the one who informs traffic management and travelers in case of traffic disturbances and deviations. Your tasks also include helping to ensure that the vehicle is clean and in good condition and reporting vehicle faults and damages. Since you have ultimate responsibility for everyone in the vehicle, you should have a good ability to work independently and take your own initiatives within the framework of your position. You are the face of the municipality when you meet the municipality's citizens.
