Reading Association for the Blind needs help to support our drivers when collecting and returning our clients to their homes after they attend our clubs.
Initially we would like someone to help with escorting on these routes, but longer term we would like someone to help out with the driving.
A full driving licence is required, including D1 (ability to drive a minibus).
