Identifying clients who might need additional support (e.g. health concerns) or who might not be able to travel together (e.g. behaviours) and working with schools families and service providers to identify ways to support the service users throughout their journey to avoid stress and incidents, e.g. working with school to develop a programme of interaction and distraction to be employed by a passenger assistant to help manage service user behaviours.

Some out of hours emergency cover required out side of conventional office hours.

Resolving issues and concerns raised by parents, school and service providers, e.g. behaviours, timings, late running, etc.. Referring these to senior officers where appropriate, e.g. safeguarding concerns.

There are particular service demand peaks over the Summer period when the services are designed for the new academic year. Annual Leave may be restricted at this time.

About you
You need to have a good understanding of logistics and transport, together with the ability to plan journeys effectively to make best use of the resources available. Experience in working within a policy framework and making decisions supported by policy guidance would be an advantage.

You will be confident analysing transport issues and offering sound, reliable travel solutions, with a high attention to detail. You will have strong analytic skills with the ability to assimilate and combine disparate information from a variety of sources.

You will have good organisational skills and able to plan and organise your time to ensure that deadlines and agreed targets are met, with the ability to work as part of a team and support others in overall team success.

You must be able to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, to all levels of management, colleagues, County Councillors, MP’s and other partners and agencies involved in education and social care, with the ability to explain complex issues in plain English.

You will need to be flexible in your approach to work, and some out of hours working may be required.
