About Us:


Explore a fulfilling role this is quite unlike any other.


If you're looking for a role where no two days are ever the same, then you will thrive in the Children's Services team within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Here we celebrate an innovative and creative approach to delivering the best possible services for our local families, working in collaboration to create exceptional shared services with our friends at Westminster City Council, thereby ensuring every pound is being well spent.

When making decisions, we put people at the very heart of our ideas, and we are unashamedly ambitious in our determination to give everyone a great quality of life.


The Role:


As a member of our bi-borough Children's Commissioning Directorate, you will play an instrumental role in delivering excellent passenger transport for Children's Services, SEND, and Adults' Services across the two boroughs.

With a focus on understanding the needs of vulnerable adults and children, you will help us design, monitor and improve these services, seeing to it that our passengers are able to reach their destinations safely, while being treated with dignity and respect.

Working closely with service users and their families, you will handle everything from requests for transport through to communicating with suppliers and operators to resolve challenges and deal with financial tasks.

We take a proactive approach to ensuring our contractors are meeting our expected standards, so you will also conduct site visits and inspections, where you will monitor these services in use, identify potential risks and report back with your observations on performance.

You will also be tasked with ad hoc projects including tendering activities and securing quotes, and you will be willing to take part in our rota that covers out-of-hours bookings.
