• Must have a full UK driving licence, your own vehicle and at least 2 years driving experience

• Business insurance to transport students if needed (or willingness to obtain)

• A good sense of humour and a genuine desire to make a lasting impact

Why Work Through Us?

• Ongoing support and guidance throughout the recruitment process

• Opportunities for long-term career progression and inclusive education

• We partner directly with the provision, so we understand their vision and ethos
