As a successful full boarding school with a comprehensive programme of co-curricular activities, Sherborne Girls has seen an increasing demand for local and national transport for groups of pupils and staff. The school currently has a pupil transport fleet consisting of four minibuses, three MPVs and a two saloon cars, supplemented by hired-in vehicles as and when required. There is an ongoing programme of vehicle replacement (and, where appropriate, expansion) to maintain a fleet that is responsive to the school’s needs and to a standard appropriate to a highly rated independent school. Whilst most of the requirements for vehicle drivers are met by academic and pastoral staff, a small Transport Department exists to supplement this to deliver a responsive service supporting a wide range of school activities and to coordinate the use of transport across the school. Many of the school’s transport needs exist out of normal working hours at evenings and weekends. As part of the wider Sherborne Schools Group, the Transport Department also supports cross-group transport of pupils in Sherborne School, Sherborne Preparatory School and Hanford School.
Due to an increase in demand, we now need to increase our bank of Drivers/Chaperones.
This is a casual position on a zero hours contract basis. Multiple appointments are expected to be made, to provide adequate cover.
