Passenger Transport – Community Companions
We’re looking for kind, reliable, and community-minded individuals to join our casual bank of Passenger Assistants across Wiltshire.
This is a flexible role, perfect if you’re looking to work on specific days or prefer short-term assignments.
As a Passenger Assistant, you will support our drivers to ensure vulnerable students travel safely and comfortably to and from school. Some journeys may involve assisting with wheelchairs, so confidence in handling mobility equipment is a plus.
You will be part of a close-knit, supportive team that works weekdays during school start and finish times. Our drivers will pick you up from your front door and drop you off at the end of your shift.
As a casual worker, you will have the freedom to choose when you’re available – just let us know your preferred hours and availability on your application.
We’re not just looking for experience – we are looking for people who care. If you’re patient, empathetic, and want to make a positive impact in your community, we’d love to hear from you.
