Why this role matters (the “job purpose” bit)
Our ambulances are the lifeblood of Daft as a Brush’s patient transport service and keeping them roadworthy is a team effort! As a Fleet Support Driver, you’ll help move vehicles for handovers, maintenance checks, and cleaning, making sure every ambulance is ready for action. You won’t be carrying patients, but you’ll be a vital cog in the machine, helping us deliver safe, reliable transport for those who need it most. If you enjoy driving, like a bit of variety, and don’t mind swapping your satnav for a squeegee now and then, this could be the role for you.
