Position Summary

Cali Care Transportation is the transportation company that actually cares.

We’re looking for dependable, compassionate Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Drivers to safely transport seniors, individuals with disabilities, wheelchair passengers, and patients to medical appointments, hospitals, facilities, family events, and other destinations.

This is more than a driving job. Our drivers help passengers feel safe, comfortable, and cared for throughout their trip.

We’re looking for people who will treat every passenger the way they would want their own family member treated.

Important: This Is an On-Demand Position

This is not a traditional full-time or part-time position, and weekly hours are not guaranteed.

Trips are scheduled based on customer demand. Some are booked in advance, while others—such as hospital discharges—may come in on short notice.

Drivers provide their availability and may accept or decline assignments. The more consistent your availability, the more opportunities you may have to work.

For short-notice assignments you accept, you must be able to report to our Redlands location within approximately 45 minutes.

What You’ll Do

● Safely transport passengers in company vehicles

● Assist passengers entering and exiting vehicles

● Transport and assist wheelchair passengers

● Wait with patients during appointments when required

● Communicate professionally with passengers, families, facilities,

and dispatch

● Maintain a clean, safe, and professional environment

● Follow company safety procedures

● Represent Cali Care professionally in company uniform

● Work alongside attendants when additional passenger assistance

is required

What We’re Looking For

Experience is helpful, but who you are matters more to us.

Our ideal driver is:

● Caring – You genuinely enjoy helping people.

● Dependable – When you accept a trip, we can count on you.

● Punctual – Our passengers have appointments they cannot miss.

● Patient – You can remain compassionate with passengers experiencing difficult circumstances.

● Professional – You understand that you're representing Cali Care.

● A Team Player – You’re willing to help when needed rather than saying, “That’s not my job"

Drivers should also be comfortable working around individuals experiencing serious medical conditions, including situations involving bodily fluids, open wounds, or significant illness.

● Acceptable driving record meeting company/insurance requirements

● Ability to pass required pre-employment screening

Preferred, But Not Required

● Professional driving or NEMT experience

Previous NEMT experience is not required. We’re willing to train the right person. Cali Care specifically identified caring, punctuality, professionalism, and willingness to help as more important characteristics than prior industry experience.
