Our aims are to:

• Provide a safe and comfortable journey

We are looking to expand our dedicated transport team of minibus passenger attendants, transporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in our fleet of 16-seater minibuses to a range of schools throughout the borough and beyond.

You will ensure that a high-quality passenger transport service is delivered to our customers by assisting passengers, assistant drivers and contributing to a safe and efficient Transport Service.

Experience of working with people with special needs is desirable although training will be provided for suitable applicants. This post is both physically and mentally demanding and you must be prepared to work as part of a team.

You will be asked to work between the core hours of 6:45am - 10:00am and 2:15pm - 6:00pm but this will vary. The service requires people to be available at peak times of operation. You may also be required to work additional hours as the service requires. Successful applicants will initially be offered a contract of 16 hours per week. Working hours and start and finish times are variable depending on operational requirements.

The Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff to share this commitment. Applicants to posts that are exempted from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act will require a DBS from the Disclosure and Barring Service before the appointment is confirmed.

As part of our Vision (https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/vision/) we aim to be a talented, resilient and inclusive community. We welcome applications from all and offer a variety of flexible working / job share opportunities for both full and part time staff.

On 30 January 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in a bold move to step up its action to tackle climate change.
