FE & HE Competitive Contract / Temp entry Level 30 September 2026

Are you a reliable driver who enjoys working with young people and being part of the day-to-day life of a busy learning environment?

About the Role

You'll join a further education provider as a Minibus Driver, transporting learners safely and punctually between sites and to off-site activities. You'll often be the first person learners see in the morning and the last at the end of the day, so a calm, friendly approach matters as much as safe driving.

You'll take responsibility for the vehicle you drive, carrying out routine checks, keeping it clean and reporting any defects promptly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Driving learners safely and punctually on agreed routes and journeys.
• Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting any faults or defects.
• Supporting learners to board and leave the vehicle safely, including those who need additional assistance.
• Keeping the vehicle clean, tidy and roadworthy.
• Maintaining accurate records of journeys, mileage and fuel.
• Following all road traffic legislation and the organisation's health and safety procedures.

What We're Looking For

• A full UK driving licence with the correct entitlement to drive a minibus
• A safe, patient and courteous approach behind the wheel
• A friendly, professional manner with learners and colleagues
• Reliability and good timekeeping

Desirable (but not essential):

• Previous experience of driving passengers in an education, care or community setting
• Experience of supporting young people or adults with additional needs
• First aid training

If you're ready to help learners get where they need to be, safely and on time, we'd love to hear from you.
