An opportunity has arisen to work at an Ofsted Outstanding sixth form college. Wyke Sixth Form College is recognised for its educational excellence, placed in the top 5% for progress at A level and ranked the second highest provider of students to Oxbridge in the Yorkshire and Humber region. The college’s reputation attracts students from across Kingston-upon-Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. Wyke has grown significantly over the last decade, accommodating 2400 exclusively level three students on a modern £30M university-style campus. At Wyke, we put the student first and all decisions centre around staff working together to meet their best interests. 97% of our current teachers and support staff recommend working here. Come and join the amazing learning culture that creates “The Wyke Experience”.

The Minibus Drivers form a small team essential to the smooth running of the College transport system. Drivers collect students to ensure they arrive before 9a.m. and take them home at 4.10pm, each run lasting 2 – 2.5 hours. Destinations vary across the East Riding and North/North East Lincolnshire area. Regular trips and visits are also taken out by the Minibus Drivers as well as sports fixtures for which they are paid overtime.

We seek enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join the team of drivers. Candidates should hold a full driving licence with a D1 entitlement. Experience of driving minibuses and/or working with young people is desirable.

We offer a forward-thinking, welcoming college with supportive management and a modern environment. Benefits include a strong programme of staff development and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme. We are lucky to work with great students who are here to learn and 97% of staff said they would recommend the College as a good place to work in the Autumn 2023 Staff Pulse Survey. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and we welcome applications from a diverse range of applicants. We would love our staff ethnicity and cultural profile to closely match the student population we serve.

The College takes safeguarding extremely seriously and a full range of pre-employment checks as set out in Keeping Children Safe in Education including a satisfactory enhanced DBS with barred list check and an online search will be required for this post. All posts at the College are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and it is an offence for those barred from working with children to even apply for a role at the College.
