We are looking for casual Minibus Drivers to join our supportive and talented team at Tewkesbury Academy .
The Minibus Driver will safely transport students to and from the school in accordance with the planned timetable and agreed routes. You will provide assistance to children to ensure their safe entry and exit from the vehicles. You will also be required to collect children from local primary schools for their swimming lessons.
In this role, you will be responsible for the safety of the passengers, other road users, members of the public and yourself as you collect students. You are required to ensure the bus is in good working order before and after use each day and ensure all children on board the bus maintain appropriate and safe behaviour during transportation.
At all times, you will be expected to act as an ambassador for the Academy, ensuring that you promote and act in accordance with the Federation’s values and ethos.
The Academy is well placed at Junction 9 of the M5. It is equidistant between Bristol and Birmingham and close to the Cotswolds, the Malvern Hills and the historic towns of Gloucester, Worcester and Cheltenham. Tewkesbury itself is a pretty, medieval market town with fine half-timbered buildings, overhanging upper storeys, narrow alleys and a beautiful 12th-century Norman abbey.
The young people at Tewkesbury Academy are our finest ambassadors, exemplifying hard work, kindness and good manners. They benefit from a hugely positive and supportive learning environment housed in a wonderful campus with great facilities and grounds.
