Rate of Pay: £16:00 per hour for time spent driving or supporting

Car driver with own vehicle essential. Fuel allowance provided.

 

I am a 56-year-old woman residing in Newcastle with my family. I am a Special Educational Needs specialist speech and language teacher working for Newcastle City Council in schools citywide. I offer assessment, training and support in schools and travel between schools and settings across each week. I am a non-driver.

I have a back condition which has affecting my ability to sit, stand or walk for prolonged periods, especially when carrying bags/resources. I am sociable, chatty and easy to get along with. I have a high degree of professional pride and would like to continue working for as long as possible. I am hoping this support with getting myself to and from work will make that happen.
