Position Overview:

The Fleet Department is seeking dedicated Relief Driver/Passenger Assistants to enhance our operations. Relief personnel are essential for covering absences due to holidays, illness, or other circumstances. While regular hours may be available, the maximum is up to 25 hours per week, though this is not guaranteed. Comprehensive training will be provided, along with uniforms and allowances for necessary equipment.

We are in search of motivated and caring individuals to ensure the safe transportation of clients and students using council minibuses and vehicles equipped with tail lifts. The role involves transporting individuals to various day centers, educational institutions, and other locations as needed. All personnel operate from our designated depot.

  • An inclusive environment that values diversity
  • Supportive staff networks
