Home to School Driver (Term Time Only + Overtime Available)
Recruitment for our 30th July 2026 Driver Training Course
Successful applicants should expect to start work from October 2026 onwards, subject to licensing, pre-employment checks and vehicle preparation.
Important – Please Read Before Applying
This role is not suitable for:
- Parents or guardians needing to take their own children to school.
- Anyone unable to work Monday to Friday (AM & PM shifts).
- Candidates looking for full-time hours.
Our Recruitment Team is on annual leave until 20th July, so applications received during this period will be reviewed on 20th, 21st or 22nd July. If you apply before then, don't worry—we'll be in touch as soon as we return.
Our next 1-day Private Hire Driver Training Course takes place on 30th July 2026.
From completing the course to being fully licensed typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on DBS, medical and licensing processing times.
Following licensing, we also need time to prepare, plate and allocate new company vehicles before drivers can begin work.
Successful applicants attending the July course should therefore expect to start work from roughly October 2026 onwards.
Please only apply if this timeline works for you.
