Job Description

MENTOR Adult Day Health, a proud member of the Sevita family, is dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive day programs for elderly individuals with complex medical or rehabilitative needs. Situated in Charlestown, MA, this organization ensures that seniors receive the highest quality healthcare services while maintaining their independence and ability to remain active within their communities. By facilitating a supportive environment, MENTOR Adult Day Health bridges the gap between clinical care and community engagement, allowing elders to continue residing safely in their own homes with dignity and respect. The team is composed of licensed nurses and experienced caregivers who offer tailored assistance to meet the unique needs of every individual in their care. This approach fosters an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and empowerment for participants and their families alike.

The role of Transportation Driver at the Adult Day Health program is integral to the seamless operation and success of the services provided by MENTOR. This full-time, day-shift position offers a competitive wage of $18 per hour and requires bilingual proficiency in English and either Cantonese or Mandarin, reflecting the community’s linguistic diversity. The working schedule is Monday through Friday, with no weekends, evenings, or on-call shifts, promoting a balanced work-life dynamic.

As a Transportation Driver, you will ensure the safety and well-being of program participants by providing reliable transportation to and from their homes, day centers, community activities, and medical appointments. This role demands more than just driving skills; it involves compassionate interaction, careful assistance with boarding and securing passengers, and supporting participants’ daily living needs such as hygiene and meal assistance when required. You will also be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and mechanical readiness of the vehicle, conducting daily inspections, and promptly reporting any service needs to keep operations smooth and safe. Working closely with a dedicated team, your contribution helps sustain the vital connection program participants have with their communities, enriching their social experiences and promoting their overall health.

In addition to the rewarding nature of the work, the position at MENTOR comes with a robust benefits package for full-time employees, including paid time off, holidays from the outset, 401(k) with company matching, and access to employee discounts through the "Perks at Work" program. The employer values each team member’s contribution and fosters a caring, mission-driven workplace. Joining MENTOR Adult Day Health means becoming part of a larger organization with over 50 years of commitment to specialized healthcare. Sevita’s impact touches more than 50,000 individuals across the United States, delivered by a team of 40,000 professionals dedicated to enhancing lives and promoting independence under all circumstances.

This opportunity not only provides competitive compensation and benefits but also a meaningful career that makes a tangible difference in people’s lives every day. If you are a reliable, compassionate individual with excellent communication skills, and meet the bilingual requirement, you are encouraged to apply and become a part of this esteemed organization. This role embodies a perfect balance of caregiving and professional driving responsibilities, with a focus on supporting seniors' independence and well-being in a respectful and dignified manner.
