At Bath & North East Somerset Council we have one overriding purpose – to improve people’s lives.

Would you like a varied and rewarding role, supporting people and working in a team? If so, we would love to hear from you.

Our day services support people who have Learning Disabilities and/or Autism with high levels of need. This is an opportunity to be part of a service which makes a real difference to the lives of those people and their families.

About the Role

Transport is staffed by drivers accompanied by transport escorts drawn from our team of support workers.

There are AM and PM transport runs. There may also be activities during the day for people we support which need a driver available. In between driving duties you will be cleaning the vehicles, taking them to be fuelled or for checks/services/MOT’s and assisting with tasks within the service such as sorting deliveries, cleaning areas of the building and preparing rooms to be used.
