Transport Officer (Procurement and Route Reviews) Role Profile
* If you are applying internally for a secondment, you must be employed on a permanent contract working continuously for 12 weeks or more.

Your current line manager must also be in agreement with your application (please refer to the Secondment policy for further information)
An exciting opportunity has arisen within the SEND School
Transport Team, to appoint a full time Transport Officer for approximately 9
-12 months to cover for maternity leave.
A good knowledge of the City of Plymouth road network or previous
experience in a transport related background would be an advantage as the
successful candidate will be identifying suitable transport provision and
planning routes taking into account the needs of students between the ages of
4-25, who have special educational needs, ensuring efficient operation of the
service. Our transport is procured through a dynamic purchasing system.
The home to school service provides transport for approximately 800 young
people with special needs on approximately 200 taxi/minibus routes daily during
term time.
This is an extremely busy service so if you are a great organiser,
have excellent communication and prioritising skills and the ability to problem
solve this could be the job for you. You also need the ability to work
effectively in a variety of situations with conflicting priorities – no 2 days
are ever the same! You will be required to work under your own initiative but
will be supported by the Transport Support Manager. Experience of
working/dealing with members of the public, a transport related background and
working within an environment dealing with administrative support would be
advantageous and proficiency in Microsoft Office software is a must.
The office requires cover from 7.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday
and therefore the person appointed will be required to work from 7.00 am on a
rota basis during school term time
