We have new positions available in:

To join our team of Passenger Assistants you don't need to have all the knowledge, skills, and experience straight away. All you need is patience, empathy, and a passion to want to do good in your community.

Journeys take place Monday to Friday at the start and end of the school day and you will be collected and dropped off at your home address. Morning shifts are between 06:30 am and 10:00 am and afternoon shifts are between 1:00 pm and 5:30 pm.
