Who we’re looking for:
Casual drivers to provide safe, reliable and user-friendly transport to support staff, students and visitors to the University.
Things to consider:
• You should hold a UK Driving license with category D1, and no more than 6 points.
• Professional driving experience is not essential.

• The role includes evening & weekend working, early starts and late finishing times.

What you’d be doing:
• Mainly driving minibuses with up to 16 passengers but sometimes vans for loading/unloading or smaller vehicles to escort VIP guests.
• Driving longer distances for sports fixtures at other Universities, or course residential trips.
• Driving within local areas for course excursions or during open days.
• Ensuring road safety and safety of passengers.
• Carrying out vehicle safety checks.
You’ll need to enjoy:
• Driving! You will often drive long journeys and cover great distances.
• Building rapport: You’ll be engaging with passengers to ensure their comfort & safety, as well as providing friendly and professional service.
• Working to Marjon values: Our team are passionate about living the values of Plymouth Marjon University.
Where you’ll work:
In this role, you’ll be part of the Welcome Team, on our campus in the north of Plymouth, but the role will entail travelling off-site.
