Full Job Description

DBS Disclosure Enhanced level will be required before any offer of employment and this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

The Service

365 transports approximately 50 pupils daily aged 4-25 years old to schools, colleges and contact centres. Some pupils have Special Educational Needs and some pupils are Looked After Children in the care of Telford & Wrekin Council. We use several different forms of transport - minibuses, wheelchair-accessible minibuses and taxis. The majority of the pupils go to schools in Telford but some go further afield for instance Wolverhampton, Walsall, Shrewsbury, and other connecting areas.

What is the job?

We maintain a register of Relief Passenger Assistants to cover for permanent members of staff who are absent either short or long-term. We are looking for people to join our relief list who can work as and when required. You will be responsible for the child/children's behaviour, safety and general well-being during their journeys to and from schools, colleges and contact centres. You must ensure pupils are suitably strapped into vehicles and you will need to become familiar with the operation of specialist equipment, for example, car seats, vehicle passenger lifts, ramps and wheelchair restraints in case of emergency. This is a job where you work mainly on your own as a representative of Telford & Wrekin Council. You will be working with a driver employed by one of our transport providers. The hours are primarily around school opening and closing times typically 08:00 - 09:30 and 14:30 - 16:15 term-time only. Occasionally some hours may be available at other times. Vacancies for permanent posts are generally filled from the register.
