An opportunity has arisen to join our team as a Driver/Escort within the Transport Section, dealing with the transportation of children and vulnerable adults.

Duties will involve collecting children or vulnerable adults from their homes and transporting them to schools and various social care locations within the City, and returning them home safely.

Applicants must be able to undertake moving and handling of service users.

The posts will involve split-shifts, working:
Monday to Thursday: 7am to 9am and then 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
Friday: 7am to 9am and then 2pm to 4pm.

There may be occasions when hours could be increased depending on the demands of the service. We would welcome applicants who could also work additional hours if the need arose.

We are committed to protecting and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is working in regulated activity. If you are successful we will undertake additional recruitment checks which will include a check to see if you have had any criminal convictions, a check of police information and we will check the barred list(s). It is a criminal offence for a barred individual to apply for a job in regulated activity.

For an informal discussion, please contact Michael Monaghan, Garage Supervisor, on 0191 277 2060.

As this post involves working with children, vulnerable adults or dealing with sensitive information, written references will be taken up and made available to interviewers before the final selection stage; even if you indicate otherwise.
