Other duties will include making sure that your vehicle is clean and tidy and keeping an accurate record of your journeys using a wireless device or via paper copy.

Parking available on site. Full training and uniform is provided. Private Medical Insurance is available after 12 months of service.

Interviews will be conducted online using Microsoft Teams. Those that are successful will then be invited to a selection day at our training centre in Thame.
