We are looking for a caring and reliable Van Driver to transport and support older people who attend our Enliven Day Programmes in Christchurch. Our programmes provide a warm and welcoming space for older people, including those living with memory loss or dementia. This role plays an important part in helping clients stay connected, engaged and able to attend the programme safely.

You will be responsible for coordinating and driving the daily pick up and drop off of clients. The safety and comfort of our passengers is essential, and you will work closely with the Team Leader to discuss any concerns or updates relating to clients or carers.

There are also general duties that support the smooth running of the service. This includes completing the vehicle logbook, refuelling, and ensuring the van is kept clean and tidy.

Flexibility to work across both Day Programme sites is important. From time to time, additional hours may be available to help cover leave for other drivers.

Ko wai mātou (About us)

Presbyterian Support aims to create a better life for everyone. Our social services are focused on whakawhanaungatanga and manākitanga (relationships and hospitality) to help to build safer, stronger, more connected families and communities. This includes supporting older people to maintain their wellbeing and positive social connections as they age and helping Tamariki, teens and families to learn, grow and thrive.

Our vision is for an equitable, compassionate, and inclusive society and our mission is to enhance the mana of children/Tamariki, young people/Rangatahi, families/whānau and older people/kaumātua to be safe, resilient, and connected.

We have sites across the upper South Island covering the Tasman & Marlborough (Te Tau Ihu o te waka a Maui), West Coast (Te Tai Poutini) and Canterbury districts (Ōtautahi & Hakatere).

Since July 2023, we have embraced a Co-Governance model at both the Board and senior leadership levels, reflecting our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and fostering shared responsibility in our leadership.
