Telford & Wrekin Council,
Make a difference every day with Telford & Wrekin Council's Transport Team
This is an exciting opportunity to join Telford & Wrekin Council's Transport Team, responsible for delivering safe, reliable, sustainable and innovative transport services that provide excellent value for money to residents across the borough.
We are looking for enthusiastic and customer-focused individuals to join our team of Casual Drivers. In this rewarding role, you will be responsible for operating minibuses that provide specialist transport services for a wide range of passengers, including children with special educational needs, adults with disabilities, social care clients and members of the public accessing bespoke transport services.
This is a varied and fulfilling role where no two days are the same. You'll work with a dynamic range of people, building positive relationships with passengers, families, carers, schools, care providers, passenger assistants and colleagues, while helping people access education, care and essential services safely and comfortably.
A D1 licence is desirable; however we also welcome applications from individuals who are willing to work towards obtaining this qualification, with a commitment to developing the skills required for the role.
As a Driver, you will play a key role in supporting passengers throughout their journey, working closely with Passenger Assistants and the Passenger Transport Office Team to ensure the safety, comfort and dignity of every passenger is maintained at all times.
