We're looking for a suitably qualified person, for example some with a Certificate of Professional Competence (PSV) who can drive forward efficiency objectives in a rapidly growing SEND Home to School service delivery environment. Someone with initiative and drive and a desire to succeed, who can create networking opportunities both inside and outside the immediate service delivery team.

The successful candidate will have strong leadership and people management skills and will have a broad understanding of transport operations in the field of SEND Home to School Transport, minibus operations and related contract management.
