Waypoint Medical Transport is hiring a driver.

THE WORK

You drive a wheelchair accessible van, taking people to their scheduled medical appointments and home again. Dialysis, doctor visits, hospital discharges. Most of your riders will be the same people every week, and you will know them by name. This is door through door service, not curb to curb. You help the rider from inside their home to the desk at their destination. You secure the wheelchair yourself, four points, every trip.

THE SCHEDULE

Three 12-hour days a week, 36 hours. This is a full time position. Days rotate. The schedule is posted two weeks in advance and does not change after it is posted. You are paid for your 36 hours whether or not a rider cancels. Some shifts start at 5:00 AM. Additional hours and a fourth day as volume grows. PAY $18.00 to $25.00 per hour. You are given the written pay scale with its scheduled increases before you accept the job, so you can see exactly what you earn and when it goes up. Increases are based on tenure combined with a clean driving and incident record. This is a W-2 position. You are an employee, not a contractor.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

All training, including passenger assistance certification and renewals, CPR and First Aid. Company van, fuel card and uniforms. Paid sick time after 90 days. Ohio workers compensation coverage.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY

We would rather you read this now than quit in week three. Some shifts start at 5:00 AM. Winter mornings mean clearing ice off the ramp before the first pickup. Twelve hours is a long day. Riders are elderly and often frail. Some are confused. Patience matters more than driving skill, and that is not a figure of speech. The work is physical. You will push, lift and secure wheelchairs. We do not accept tips.
