We are currently under way with plans to introduce a dedicated mobile service to old people's homes and sheltered accommodation across Worcestershire. The vehicle will be somewhere round 4.5 tonnes, with an intended stock of about 1000 items. We have looked at a couple of examples of the vehicle itself, and have been able to gain useful information on routing, scheduling etc. Would anyone possibly be able to share any job descriptions of a driver/assistant and assistant with us? We are aware that some authorities run routes where vehicles are single-manned, and some are two person. This is an issue we will also be looking at, so any guidance on how you measured service uptake (potential or actual) to inform decisions on single/double manning would also be helpful. many thanks David David S.
