If you've got strong communication skills and some previous experience of working in this key area - we would love to hear from you

In this role you will be actively involved in ensuring the data we hold on our transport software system is accurate and well maintained, so that we can provide effective scheduling and accurate management information.

Assisting with pupil behaviour management on transport, in liaison with parents and schools, will also form part of your role.
