Age UK Bath & North East Somerset is a local independent charity on a mission to grow an age friendly community across Bath and North East Somerset.

For some of us as we grow older, our mobility is not what it used to be. To enable people to continue to play an active role in their community, we have four minibuses which provide transport for people to and from our various Clubs and other venues, where necessary.

This transport is essential to people maintaining their wellbeing, remaining active and continuing their connections in the community.

The Transport Lead’s role is to coordinate our Transport Service, manage the team of six drivers and generally be responsible for the minibuses, including driving one of them.

The Transport Lead is the main point of contact for the Transport Service Department and is responsible for maintaining a safe, reliable, and efficient service.

You’ll be supported by our Community Connections Manager and work alongside people across all the services we provide at Age UK Bath & North East Somerset. You’ll also have opportunity to connect with other Community Transport Services across the West of England.

The Transport Lead will play a key role in how our Transport Service is delivered. We pride ourselves in having an open, supportive culture where new ideas can become a reality and where a welcoming smile goes a long way.

Our Transport Service is crucial to enabling people to live the life they choose, continue to play an active role in their community and maintain their personal sense of wellbeing.
