Job description

About SilverRide
SilverRide is an award-winning, fully licensed TNC operator that facilitates assisted-ride services to a broad range of individuals and organizations who need support during their trip. We've provided over a million rides for seniors, people living with disabilities, and others since our founding in 2007.
We help clients get things done, socialize and have enriching life experiences. This is accomplished via door-through-door service, helping folks from inside their homes to the vehicle and then from the vehicle to their destination. This can include taking them to the doctor, grocery shopping, a senior center, for a walk or anywhere else they want to go. We have no client age restrictions, so people of all ages with mobility challenges use SilverRide. More info is at SilverRide.com.
What's a Driver Companion?
We're looking for reliable, compassionate, friendly ride-share drivers who not only enjoy driving, meeting new people and earning money, but also take pride in providing help to those who need a little extra assistance. Most of our clients need minimal physical assistance, but they count on SilverRide for the guarantee of assistance if they do need it, which gives them peace of mind.
We're small, like a family, and staff our office such that we get to know you. We believe in providing quality, personalized service to our clients and value our drivers as partners in this endeavor.
