The Fleet Management team are seeking to recruit passenger assistants to travel on our school transport service vehicles and offer support to the service users.
Passenger assistants will need to complete mandatory training and undertake a DBS check, all of which will be provided through the Council before they can go out onto the vehicles.
These casual roles will initially allow us to see how the role works in house, with the possibility of regular shifts in the future.
You will need to be self-motivated with good inter-personal and communication skills, friendly of nature and character with a strong work ethic, flexible and reliable. You will be expected to engage with the services users during the journeys between school and the agreed drop of location to reduce distraction to the driver as well as keeping all service users calm and happy whilst being transported.
For further information, or an informal discussion please contact Charlotte Russell at 01983 823166 or by emailat [email protected]
