School Minibus Driver 

Are you a responsible and friendly individual with a passion for ensuring the safety and well-being of children? Join our team as a School Minibus Driver and make a difference in our pupils’ daily commute.

St Peter’s Preparatory School, Lympstone is seeking a suitably qualified and competent driver to drive pupils on one of our new hybrid (9-seater) School minibuses. A PCV (CPC) qualification would be advantageous but is not essential.

This is a term-time only position, for which the salary is £10,000 per annum (including paid holiday entitlement). The successful candidate will work 20 hours per week, Monday to Friday, two hours each morning (from 06:30) and two hours each afternoon (from 16:45) plus any agreed additional paid daytime hours to transport pupils on trips, visits and sporting events.

Good interpersonal skills, a commitment to safeguarding pupils and a knowledge of driving health and safety are essential, as is a positive attitude and awareness and understanding of a school environment. Driving liveried vehicles, minibus drivers are expected to wear a uniform and to maintain high standards of driving, appearance and behaviour.
