Job Description

At Bath & North East Somerset Council we have one overriding purpose – to improve people’s lives.

Enjoy driving? Want to make a positive difference to people’s lives?

Come and join our Passenger Transport team here at Bath and North East Somerset as a Minibus & Car driver!

Here in the Passenger Transport team we’re looking for people to drive our vulnerable passengers to school and operate our Bath Dial-a-Ride services. No two days are the same and you’ll be part of a team that really makes a difference.

We seek caring individuals with a pro-active approach. This role is term-time only and involves no weekends or evenings. Split shifts (just working the am + pm school runs) are also available.

Don’t have a PCV licence?

Not a problem here in the Passenger Transport team. As long as you have a clean category B (car) driving licence we’ll look to train you to category D1 (minibus) standard. We are keen to develop our staff and will fund the costs for you to obtain your PCV licence.

If you are interested in this post and require more details or just to chat through the role and what’s involved, please contact Steve Doel on 01225 394371 or via email: Steve_Doel@BATHNES.gov.uk
