East Sussex County Council seeks a taxi or MPV (1-8 seats) with a passenger assistant for a school transport route. The vehicle must be an 8-seat wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV). The passenger assistant must be trained in epilepsy and PEG feeding. The route runs Monday to Friday from BN25 3HF/BN25 3HJ to Hazel Court FE (BN21 2XF), with school hours 08:50-15:10. The wheelchair is a fixed manual Ottobock on discovery base (approx 28kg) that must be locked in place. This is a restricted procedure above threshold.
