Adding Compassionate Companion Drivers to our team!
At Onward, we are solving for transportation as a barrier to healthcare, each year in the US 5.8 million people miss or delay care due to lack of access to safe, reliable transportation as we are on a mission to change that. If you’re looking to make a difference and enjoy driving and assisting others, then we'd love for you to apply!
What is a Companion Driver? Companion Drivers are purpose-driven individuals who help riders that need a little extra assistance making it to their destination. Companion Drivers:
Transport older adults, people with disabilities, and those with mobility impairments Door-Through-Door ensuring safe arrival at their destination.
Offer physical assistance for those with mobility or cognitive impairments, including offering an arm for support or folding walkers or wheelchairs.
Provide companionship services for socially isolated individuals
Much like a traditional ride-share driver, you'll provide transportation, but as a Companion Driver, we’re slowing down, having conversations, offering a hand into and out of the vehicle, and providing that extra bit of assistance our riders need.

Caregiving experience, Community Health Worker (CHW) training preferred
Authentic passion for helping older adults
Minimum 21 Years of Age
Have your own 4-door car that is 2014 or newer with full insurance coverage
Have a clean driving record and background check
