Minibus Driver

Advert

Northfleet School for Girls is a vibrant and caring school with a great community feel. Over recent years we have been growing rapidly (62% increase in student roll since 2017) and we believe this is down to the following key areas :

• A real passion to develop the whole student as well as achieve excellent academic progress
• A dedicated staffing team who really care and a clear commitment by leaders to staff wellbeing
• Great student behaviour and engagement, allowing staff and students to flourish

We are seeking to appoint a Minibus Driver on a casual relief contract basis. The work is not guaranteed and hours will vary through the school year and maybe outside of 'normal' schools hours.

• Have held a driving license for at least 12 months which is clean with a category D1 designation
• Be willing to undertake an enhanced DBS check
• Be punctual and reliable

The successful candidate will be contacted in advance (with as much notice as possible) with details of trips / visits and will need to confirm their availability to drive a school minibus on a pre‑agreed visit to mainly local sites but with some further afield. Previous experience in a driving role would be advantageous but not essential as training will be given.

School staff will always be present during journeys to supervise students.

Northfleet School for Girls and all its personnel are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The appointment is subject to satisfactory references, medical clearance and an enhanced DBS check.

For any candidate who isshortlisted, an online search will be conducted in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education 2025 statutory guidance.

We reserve the right to withdraw this advert before the published closing date should a suitable candidate be appointed before.
