The Role & Team
The education transport team is responsible for providing home to school transport support for more than 400 children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) each school day, both to schools in the local area and some that are out of area.

We are seeking to recruit casual/relief passenger assistants, to support children and young people on home to school transport. Transport arrangements vary from children requiring 1:1 support in a taxi, to shared taxis and minibuses with 10 or more children. The number of hours each week will vary depending on availability, school and type of transport to be covered.

Although initially on a casual/relief basis initially it is expected that regular work/school runs will be available very shortly with the potential to result in more permanent employment, if suitable and appropriate.

About You
You must have experience of working with children, in a personal or professional capacity, ideally with children with SEND, but this is not essential. You should have the ability to effectively communicate and engage with children and young people, providing a service that meets their needs.

It is essential that you have a flexible approach to working arrangements, be available at short notice and at the start and end of the day school day.
