THE ROLE
The Transport and Sustainability Manager will lead on the implementation of services and initiatives aimed at developing transport solutions and sustainable travel for pupils, staff and parents/carers.

Sustainability is a developing aspect of the role and there is scope for expanding this element.
The role will include the management of the Home to School bus service, maintaining a clear focus on the needs of all three Schools. The postholder will manage all aspects of the School bus service including identifying potential routes, procuring providers, promoting the service amongst parents/carers and pupils and managing performance.
The successful candidate will be a member of the Support Staff (non-teaching) at Highgate. The role requires a candidate able to combine tact, diplomacy and effective communication with parents, carers, suppliers and School staff with the administrative and organisational skills needed to manage complex logistic requirements. It is an exciting role involving engaging with pupils, staff, parents and carers about the importance of sustainable travel.
