Passenger Transport – Community Companions
We’re looking for kind, reliable, and community-minded individuals to join our casual bank of Passenger Assistants across Wiltshire.
This is a flexible role, perfect if you’re looking to work on specific days or prefer short-term assignments.
As a Passenger Assistant, you will support our drivers to ensure vulnerable students travel safely and comfortably to and from school. Some journeys may involve assisting with wheelchairs, so confidence in handling mobility equipment is a plus.
