About The Position
Onward Health is hiring compassionate Driver Companions to assist our riders! We are passionate about fighting isolation and being a great companion to some of the least served members of our communities. Companion Rides alleviate transportation barriers, helping individuals access healthcare, social services and reduce reliance on the #1 caregiving responsibility in America - Transportation. The role of a Companion Driver is not your standard gig job — it’s an opportunity to be a positive, trusted presence during someone’s day. Companion Drivers are consistently paired with riders based on mobility needs, spoken language and more, to reduce social isolation and loneliness while building confidence in accessing necessary services for a healthy life. Onward is a health-system-ready transportation management solution that removes headaches for healthcare workers and transportation barriers to care for patients. By simplifying the experience of aligning transportation resources, ordering and managing transport, Onward creates seamless experiences for all. Drawing from nearly two decades of healthcare transportation experience operating its sister company Royal Ambulance, Onward’s team leverages tactical knowledge of the Healthcare Transportation Industry to shape its vision and offering.
