Relief Minibus Driver

St Mary’s Independent School is looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Relief Minibus Driver to drive the school minibus as part of a daily service by collecting St Mary's pupils from designated pick-up points in the morning and then returning them to the same point at the end of the school day when cover is required.

In addition to providing an excellent service and maintaining our high standards, the successful candidate must be reliable, approachable and able to work on their own initiative. It is essential that the appointed person has a full driving licence with a D1 entitlement and must pass the Minibus (MiDAS) one‑day driving assessment before transporting pupils.

St Mary’s is an Independent day school in Colchester, Essex for girls age 4‑16 and with a Kindergarten for children age 2‑4. Our vision is to empower girls to thrive at school and beyond and the Lower School has been ranked 12th highest performing Preparatory Schools in England by the Sunday Times. Many girls achieve scholarships to Senior School and we have an impressive 11+ pass rate for those who choose to sit the exam.

At the Senior School, excellent GCSE results are achieved each year. We’re able to achieve such success by tailoring the education to suit the needs of each individual in our small classes and by giving the girls the encouragement and support they need to aim high.

Please see the candidate information pack for more information on the job role and person specification.

St Mary’s is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All candidates must be willing to undergo enhanced child protection screening.
