Are you caring, reliable and looking for a rewarding role that fits around the school day?

We are looking for compassionate and enthusiastic Passenger Assistants to support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities on their journeys to and from school. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference in a child's day by helping them travel safely, comfortably and confidently.

As a Passenger Assistant, you will accompany children on school transport and help ensure their safety and wellbeing throughout their journey. Responsibilities include:

• Promoting safe, positive and appropriate behaviour while travelling.
• Assisting with wheelchair restraints, safety harnesses and other equipment where required.
• Communicating with parents, schools and transport providers.
• Maintaining passenger registers and ensuring children are safely handed over to a parent, carer or school staff member.
• Reporting any incidents or concerns and following safeguarding and safety procedures.

We would love to hear from people who are:

• Patient, calm and caring.
• Reliable and able to work independently.
• Good communicators with a friendly approach.
• Passionate about supporting children and young people.
• Flexible and committed to providing an excellent service to families and schools.

Previous experience working with children or individuals with special educational needs is beneficial, but not essential. Full training, including Paediatric First Aid, will be provided
