• Equipment Assessments: Offer independent assessments of mobility equipment (wheelchairs, scooters, and adaptations) to find the best fit for each client’s unique needs. Assess and advise on high-tech solutions and simple devices alike.
• Passenger Safety: Assess and advise clients on how to safely travel as passengers, including suitable equipment to facilitate safe transfers into vehicles. Provide expert guidance on reducing manual handling risks.
• Vehicle Adaptations: Advise clients on suitable adaptations and loading options for their vehicles, enabling easier access and egress for both drivers and passengers.
• Specialist Support: Work with clients who have neurological conditions, age-related changes, mental health issues, or learning disabilities to assess their driving ability and provide recommendations for safe, independent travel.
• Vocational and Motorbike Assessments: Expand your expertise into assessing vocational driving and motorbike riding for those who require specialised evaluations.

What We’re Looking For:

• You are a skilled professional with a background in assessing and providing mobility solutions.
• You are passionate about helping people overcome barriers to independence and mobility.
• You are knowledgeable about vehicle adaptations, driving assessments, and mobility equipment.
• You have excellent communication skills and can work effectively with clients, their families, and other professionals.
