About the Role

Robertsbridge Community College is the smallest secondary school in East Sussex.

It is set in a picturesque 4 acres of grounds backing onto an area of outstanding natural beauty.

It has a number of buildings dating from the 1950’s to 2014.

The challenges are to improve the learning environment for staff and students on limited budgets, and the post holder will be key to improving the site.

We can offer the successful candidate a supportive working environment, in a school with excellent student, and caring staff team.

We fully believe in enhancing the educational opportunities for our students and are seeking to develop a dedicated minibus driver role who will facilitate the transport of students to extra curricular activities, curriculum visits, fixtures, events and visits both locally and further afield, and you will be able to visit a range of different locations, attractions and historical landmarks.

The role requires the post holder to be responsible for the safety checks on the minibus, prior to driving ensuring that the bus is safe for use.

Driving students to a variety of locations, the vast majority of the visits will include additional staff who will supervise the students and your role will be to drive only on this basis.

When the location is reached for some visits there will be the requirement to be responsible for a group of students when the trip is divided into smaller groups, and responsible for the students safety, safeguarding and well being.

Ideally you should be a first aider or willing to undertake this qualification.

The position is claims only, and you will be paid for hours worked. You will be booked in advance for designated trips and activities.

Additional Information

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits. This authority is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be expected to hold or be willing to obtain Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau).
