About The Position

Onward Health is hiring compassionate Driver Companions to assist our riders in your community! Are you passionate about serving the community and providing senior/elder care? Note, this is an Independent Contractor position. We are eager to add friendly, capable and caring drivers to our team. If that sounds like you, apply today! At Onward, we provide the world’s safest, most reliable transportation to help older adults and those needing assistance. We are passionate about fighting isolation and being a great companion to some of the least served members of our communities. Onward is NOT an on-demand rideshare service. Onward is different in two distinct ways. First, our rides are scheduled, and regardless of the length of the trip, you will get a base hourly rate for the trip. This allows you to plan around your schedule and drive when works best for you. Second, our passengers are seniors or those who need a little extra help. This may include things like getting in and out of the car, or waiting for them while they run an errand. Onward Health 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. Onward’s team leverages tactical knowledge of the Healthcare Transportation Industry to shape its vision and offering. The high touch and high tech approach to transportation coordination saves staff time, reduces hospital length of stay and prevents missed appointments. Further, our signature service “Companion Rides” and patients’ ability to self schedule, helps to reduce avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits.
