Deadline Date: 28th May 2026

We are looking to expand our home to school transport route and we need to recruit reliable, enthusiastic and flexible minibus drivers on a permanent basis into our team. The purpose of this role is to provide the daily home transport service to pupils to and from their designated stops on the bus routes whilst ensuring the pupils safety and welfare at all times. The maximum number of pupils on a minibus at any time would be 16, varying from ages 8-18.

The successful candidates should be able to provide excellent service, maintaining our high standards but also be approachable to pupils and parents.

The main shift patterns we require are:

6.00am – 8.45am
6.15am – 8.45am
6.30am – 8.45am
6.45am – 8.45am

3.45pm – 6.30pm
3.45pm – 6pm
3.45pm – 6.15pm
3.45pm – 5.45pm

These shifts are required Monday to Friday for the weeks during the School term time (35 weeks per year which includes 4 training days per year). We would welcome applications from those who meet the skill set and who can fulfil both shifts and/or mornings/evenings only, and also those who are only able to work certain days per week. A willingness to step-in at short notice to cover driver colleagues who are unwell would also be helpful. Please make clear on your application what your availability would be. At a minimum we require six drivers to absorb these shifts however we are open to having a flexible and reliable team who would be able to cover the requirement on a rota if required.

This role will require compulsory attendance at training sessions throughout the year (which will be pre-agreed in advance) and the job holder will need to be available to start 17th August 2026 to complete induction training in office hours prior to the start of the academic year, which is 3rd September 2026.

Applications should be made on the application form available on this website. Applications should be e-mailed to the HR Department, as soon as possible and no later than midday on Thursday, 28th May. The school reserves the right to interview before the closing date if appropriate to the context of the field. Early applications are therefore very much encouraged. Applications should be submitted to: HR@Yarmschool.org.
