Casual Drivers are called upon to cover scheduled vacations, sick leave, leaves of absence, training, and other operational requirements. You will be trained on different routes and services, including HandyDART, Flex, and Health Connections. This role is more than just driving.

Please note: This is a casual relief position with no guarantee of minimum hours. Work assignments are scheduled based on operational requirements, employee absences, vacation coverage, training requirements, and service needs.

This last sentence addresses the possibility that the incumbent returns and avoids implying an ongoing vacancy. It's also language I've commonly seen accepted by Labour Relations and unionized environments.
