About The Service
The team is responsible for delivering a front-line service. We deliver a variety of road safety and active travel initatives to children, young people and adults who live, work or study in Cardiff.
About the job
The purpose of the job is to plan, support and deliver independent travel training to young people and adults with additional learning needs. The training will generally be delivered on a 1:1 basis, with the aim of providing trainees with the necessary skills and confidence to travel independently to and from their education provision. Training will also be delivered 1:1 or in small groups during the day.
