Notes

Accept online applications only. You MUST hold a full UK driving licence, a provisional licence or licence from another country cannot be accepted. You have to be able to drive the children in a Trust vehicle. Posts are within the BHSCT areas and a waiting list for 12 months will also be created. “A waiting list may be created for similar posts that may arise while the waiting list is live, this may include temporary or part-time posts. This will be managed in line with the updated HSC waiting list principles effective from 1 April 2026. Where a part-time waiting list is required, one part-time waiting list will be created- regardless of any specific hours advertised, this waiting list will cover all future vacancies where part-time posts arise. A part-time post is defined as any post that has less than 37.5 hours per week.” Please remember to save or print a copy of the job description before submitting your application, as it will not be accessible afterwards.
