approximately 300 drivers and passenger assistants that operate at locations throughout
North Yorkshire.
The
team delivers approximately 250,000 passenger journeys per year including 20,000
wheelchair user journeys. The transport provided enables people to access schools,
day centres, learning opportunities, supported employment and other meaningful
activities in our community. We also undertake registered local bus services and
community transport journeys.
We
are looking for caring, flexible and committed people to help us provide this
transport.
You will be
responsible for the safety of passengers during these journeys and will ensure
that the passengers board and alight safely as well as ensuring that any safety
equipment is used correctly. Full

to 5:00pm, however these hours may vary to fit the needs of our customers. The hours will be worked from Monday to Friday
inclusive. The role will involve split shifts.
The role will
require you to be flexible to fit in with Integrated Passenger Transport demand.
We offer a
