Save to Favorites

The Bureau of Education and Services for the Blind has an immediate but short-term need for 2 to 4 individuals to assist with driving staff who are legally blind to their local appointments. This role would involve coming to the Windsor office where a car will be gassed up and waiting for you to drive. Your role would be to take a teacher to appointments - either at a private residence, local school or special education center, escorting to/from the building when required. When the visits are over, return the car and the staff person to Windsor. You may choose any day (M-F) between now and February and you can choose a morning, afternoon or the entire day as your schedule permits.

The second opportunity is similar but that teacher will go to private residences for their appointments. Your role will be to escort the teacher to the threshold of the private residence and then In almost all cases you will be able to relax with a book and wait for their appointment to conclude. We practice all ReOpen CT guidelines which will be provided and the cars are fully loaded with wipes, sanitizers and all PPE necessary.

This opportunity is fully insured with our liability coverage - you need to provide proof of license in CT and we will collect a driving and criminal history on you - two references too. We will provide a short training on sighted guide - common sense techniques for walking/guiding a person who is blind.

This is a great opportunity to learn a little and help a LOT! If you are interested but not certain call me at 860-602-4129 and we can walk through this and other options!
