Tunbridge Wells, Kent, United Kingdom Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys Full time

We are looking for a number of reliable, flexible and trustworthy Minibus Drivers to support our school by driving our students to and from extra curriculum sporting activities and other events.

Alongside driving a minibus, the successful candidate will undertake other duties such as vehicle checks and refuelling, as well offering first aid to students with minor injuries in line with school policy.

The successful candidates will be expected to drive the minibus in a responsible and competent manner, ensuring the safety of the passengers, other road users, members of the public and yourself at all times. They will have at least two year's driving experience and a clean driving licence, with D1 on the licence. They will be required to attend a Kent Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme training course, funded by the School.

Previous experience in working with secondary school age children would be a distinct advantage, although this is not essential. Confidentiality inside and outside the workplace is essential, as is the ability to support the school's ethos and vision into the wider community.

Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys is an expanding and rapidly improving selective grammar school. It is undergoing a period of transformational change benefitting from a multi-million-pound investment in Tunbridge Wells and a brand new building at our Sevenoaks campus, which opened in September 2021.

Staff will benefit from a positive working environment, with strong support for professional development and specialist teaching rooms. We aim for high standards and the pursuit of academic excellence, helping every student to reach their full potential through the development of skills, concepts and knowledge, within the framework of a caring community. Relationships between staff and students are based on trust, mutual respect and a determination to succeed.

Please note that we will only accept CV's if they are accompanied by an application form, which can be found on our website: We shall review applications as we receive them so apply early to avoid disappointment
