Mini Bus Driver

Outfit Moray is looking for volunteer drivers to support the delivery of their outdoor learning and adventure opportunities. Not all of Outfit Moray's outdoor instructors can drive a minibus, so we often need drivers to transport our groups from our base in Lossiemouth to the activity location in Moray. Transport requires trailer towing, for which a D1/D1E category licence is required. They are looking for confident, competent drivers. Trailer towing experience is preferred but not essential as training can be given.
