About us
The Passenger Transport Unit Deputy Operations Manager is a new role and is part of the team responsible for the delivery of the school transport service, providing transport for students with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND) to their school or college provision over the academic year.
We currently have an exciting vacancy within our amazing team to enable us to continue to build on our success and also bring new experience, knowledge and ideas.
About the Role
In this role you will deputise for the Operations Manager and your oversight, direction and “hands on” management experience will ensure that transport services are responsive and inclusive for students, their families, educational establishments, local authority staff, vehicle suppliers and driving staff by working effectively with all stakeholders. You will effectively manage the permanent and casual passenger assistant staff in line with passenger transport unit operational requirement. You will also be involved with and support the management of passenger routes and journeys through a team of Transport Coordinating Officers, Administrative Officers and permanent and casual Passenger Assistants.
Offering support where required, you will assist in ensuring that all routing is carried through in a manner which makes best and efficient use of all operational staff and vehicle resources, providing the highest quality service for all passengers in the safest and most appropriate way and at an appropriate cost to the authority.
About you
You will have proven experience, skills and ability in a similar role with a record of delivering successful outcomes in logistical resource management and preferably have previous relevant experience of coordinating specialised passenger transport logistics related to SEND students.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and flexible individual who must be willing to try new ideas, meet commitments, be adaptable and take pride in working for the Council. You will need to be calm under pressure with good communication, time keeping and organisational skills, sufficient to manage conflicting priorities in a fast paced environment. You will be proficient in the use of various office software required for the role and be willing to train in other software as required. Working knowledge of relevant legislation, processes, procedures and issues relating to children and young people with special educational needs would be desirable.
