As part of our commitment to promoting equality we offer guaranteed interviews to those who meet the essential criteria and are considered disabled, have been in Plymouth City Council care or are an Armed Forces Service Leaver within the last two years.
Opportunities have arisen in the Transport and Allowances Team to appoint 10 part time, term time only Passenger Assistants.
Passenger Assistants are employed to accompany children and young people (4 – 25 years of age) who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), on their journey to and from school/college or other educational establishments. They are responsible for the health, safety and wellbeing of the children and young people between home and school.
You will need to be able to work on your own initiative and have a genuine interest in supporting children and young people with SEND. Passenger Assistants are usually picked up and returned home by the school transport vehicle.
