Butts County Senior Center is currently looking for a part-time Home Delivered Meals Driver, an individual committed to ensuring that homebound clients receive their meals with care and efficiency. The announcement, available on the Butts County's official website, details a role that is much more than a typical delivery job; it's a chance to make a substantial difference in the lives of those who may otherwise be isolated.
The selected candidate will be expected to not only drive the Center’s meal delivery vehicle but also to carefully organize and distribute meals. Daily responsibilities will include meeting with the Site Manager to confirm the number of meals and routes, completing a pre-trip vehicle checklist, and assisting with the portioning and packaging of the food. It's essential for the driver to strictly observe all safety rules and to be proactive in noting any negative changes in clients' conditions or unsafe household situations. The job demands a person ready to meticulously make these notes and to straightforwardly report them to the Site Manager.
Qualifications for this position are clear-cut: a high school diploma or equivalent, the ability to follow directions, and the capacity to lift up to 50 pounds unassisted. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and possess a valid Georgia Driver’s License with a satisfactory driving record. Skills needed for the job include working well with elderly persons from diverse backgrounds, organizational and public relation skills, and a firm grasp of the need for confidentiality in client interactions.
The job also includes some flexibility, as the driver will serve as a backup to other staff members as needed, meaning they will need to be prepared to quickly adapt to various job functions. This highlights the necessary ability for the driver to work as part of a team, ensuring that the Senior Center’s services remain uninterrupted. Employment is conditional upon passing a criminal background check and a drug screening; interested parties can complete their applications online through a straightforward link provided on the Butts County's website.
For those interested in joining the Butts County Senior Center team and making a difference in the community, the full job listing and application details can be found on the Butts County website. The announcement was published last Thursday, May 15, indicating the urgency and importance of filling this role for the welfare of the community's homebound seniors.
