Are you the kind of person who naturally looks out for others and loves working as part of a community?

 

Across North Yorkshire, our Integrated Passenger Transport Operations Team keeps our community moving. Our extensive network of more than 120 vehicles, mainly minibuses, and approximately 340 drivers and passenger assistants work tirelessly to deliver safe, reliable transport where it's needed most. From providing essential local bus services to unlocking access to learning, employment, and social centres, we ensure nobody gets left behind.

 

We bridge the gap to critical community hubs, enabling independent access to education, supported employment, and day centres, and other meaningful activities in our community. The team delivers approximately 250,000 passenger journeys per year including 20,000 wheelchair user journeys.

We are looking for a caring, flexible, and committed person to help transport clients that require additional support to get to and from a range of different venues.

  •             Using your great communication skills to connect and collaborate with school and centre staff, parents, carers and colleagues

D1 or D1 (101) entitlement on your driving licence is an essential requirement for this role.

 

We offer a comprehensive training package including Minibus Driver Awareness Training Scheme (MIDAS), Basic First Aid and Managing Challenging Behaviour.

Please note that the salary advertised is the full time equivalent rate.  For term time only employees, the annual salary is calculated pro rata and paid evenly over 12 months.

In addition to your salary, we offer a range of great benefits to help you financially and make life a bit easier:

 

  •             a local government pension scheme with generous employer contribution
