Are you a safe, reliable, and caring driver who enjoys helping others?
We're looking for a Mini Bus Driver to join our friendly team at Stamford College, part of the Inspire Education Group (IEG).
In this rewarding role, you'll play a vital part in helping students with learning disabilities and special educational needs (SEND) travel safely and comfortably between home and college - and to exciting trips and activities throughout the year.

* Keep the minibus clean, tidy, and well-maintained
* Report any maintenance or safety issues promptly
* Follow all safeguarding, road safety, and college policies at all times
* Create a friendly, supportive, and positive atmosphere for our students on every journey

* Has good time management and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly
* Understands the importance of safety, professionalism, and confidentiality
* Is happy to help out where needed and be part of a caring, dedicated team
A Driver CPC qualification and experience driving a minibus are essential, but if you're willing to complete CPC training, we'd still love to hear from you.
