Are you the kind of person who naturally looks out for others and loves working as part of a community? If so, this rewarding role where you can make a direct impact in your area could be for you.

Across North Yorkshire, our Integrated Passenger Transport Operations Team keeps our community moving. Our extensive network of more than 120 vehicles, mainly minibuses, and approximately 340 drivers and passenger assistants work tirelessly to deliver safe, reliable transport where it’s needed most. From providing essential local bus services to unlocking access to learning, employment, and social centres, we ensure nobody gets left behind.

We bridge the gap to critical community hubs, enabling independent access to education, supported employment, and day centres, and other meaningful activities in our community. The team delivers approximately 250,000 passenger journeys per year including 20,000 wheelchair user journeys.

We are looking for a caring, flexible and committed person to support a client on journeys to and from activities at various centres for 20 hours per week.

For term-time only employees, the annual salary is calculated pro rata and paid evenly over 12 months.

This role operates on a split-shift routine from Monday to Friday. Standard hours are 07:00–09:30 and 15:00–17:30. However, flexibility is needed to accommodate occasional adjustments based on changing passenger needs.

Experience is not essential, however some experience working in a similar role is an advantage. Full training is provided for the right individual who brings a caring, patient and responsible attitude.
