6 months ago
About the role

This frontline service within Highways and Waste provides transport to vulnerable adults and children including those with special educational needs. It also provides transport for children and young people attending Mainstream schools as well as providing transport for Social care requirements.
The post holder will support the Transport Team i through maintaining accurate records, communicating with service users, their families and other stakeholders and generally providing administrative support to the team as a whole.
What will you be doing?
At the heart of our service are children and young people, many of whom have additional needs requiring extra, and sometimes specialist, support. Understanding the challenges that these young people face will help you and the team make the correct decisions and identify appropriate transport solutions. You will work closely with your colleagues and other stakeholders, to ensure that the service user experience is efficient and consistent, and that the service we deliver is cost effective and represents the best value for all.
About you
You will have a good standard of spoken and written English. You will be IT literate and competent in the use of common IT systems, especially Excel, Teams and able to work with databases and systems outside the popular software in common use.
We expect you to have previous experience of a range of administrative duties, including preparing reports, reviewing and issuing documentation, managing sensitive data in accordance with GDPR, and dealing with frontline customer queries. You will need an understanding of the needs of young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, and the additional challenges that these young people can face.
Your attention to detail will help you to ensure that our records are accurate and always up to date. Your good communication skills and your empathy with others will enable you to respond to all calls in a professional and sympathetic manner and to build good relationships with our customers and other stakeholders. You will be a team player, able to react to changing work pressures and demand but able to support your colleagues through it all.
Experience within a transport planning environment, ideally passenger transport, would be an advantage, however attitude and willingness to learn are more important than previous experience.
