About the role

Special needs kids don't take the old school buses anymore; they ride with Carepool to stay safe during Covid times. Drivers can use a vehicle provided by the company at an hourly rate or drive their own car. Carepool is a transportation platform for people with disabilities and the aging population, operating similarly to Uber but with scheduled, recurring rides. Drivers work on a project basis, build trusting relationships with riders, and may partner with other drivers to cover shifts as needed. Job types include full‑time, part‑time, temporary, internship, and contract.

  • Excellent personality with the ability to read people and solve problems.
  • 100% clean driving record (only a minor ticket or two every 2‑5 years acceptable).
  • Minimum age 21 years.
  • Over 5 years of driving experience.
