We're Hiring Travel Support Workers!

Disability Sheffield are looking to recruit more Travel Support Workers to our Sheffield Travel Support service, initially on £13.45 per hour zero-hours contracts whilst we work out the service’s needs. As a disabled people’s organisation we very much encourage applicants who have a disability.

Visit: https://disabilitysheffield.org.uk/were-hiring-travel-support-workers/ for more information and to apply!

What is a Travel Support Worker?

As a Travel Support Worker (TSW), your main role will be to accompany and support customers to get around Sheffield on their regular journeys or to social events, etc. Picking people up in the morning usually happens between 8.30am and 10.30am, taking them safely to day centres and workplaces. Return journeys tend to start at about 2:30pm and finish around 4.30pm. There is occasional work outside of these times and a small amount of evening and weekend work would be required.

We are not particularly looking for support workers with experience in this sort of work - you just need patience, a sense of fun and a readiness to show respect to every person that you support.

At present, all TSW’s must own their own 5 door car which is suitable for the purpose of transporting customers when required.
