Passenger Assistant

Role Overview & Responsibilities

Closing Date :14/03/2023

Passenger Assistants (PA) accompany children and young adults, usually with additional needs (medical/behavioural), who require transport to and from school/college.

There are currently approximately 800 students aged between 4-25 accessing Home to School transport which will be in either a Minibus or a Taxi.

You will be providing cover for PAs who are unable to work and therefore cover maybe required during the hours of 07.00-10.00 and 14.00-17.00 Monday to Friday.

We may also need to contact you during the day to arrange future cover which maybe last minute. Sometimes this is short term cover for half a day, sometimes it can be longer.

It is a rewarding job with lots of variety.

You’ll meet lots of students with differing needs and gain great experience whilst accompanying students into Schools across Plymouth and into Devon and Cornwall.

You are paid for the time you work and will be given one day of ‘classroom’ training on Microsoft Teams before accompanying a PA on a route.

Candidates should live in the Plymouth City Council Area. Please be aware these are variable hours as you will be placed on a relief register to cover PAs as and when required.
