About Brighton & Hove Albion FC

We compete at the highest levels of football on a global stage whilst keeping our Sussex community spirit. Our vision is to be a top ten Premier League club and a top four Women's Super League club. A commitment to high performance, high professional standards and making a difference is at the heart of everything we do.

Support with transporting our talented academy players in and around Sussex

We are hiring for a pool of minibus drivers to safely transport our academy players to their training sessions at our elite performance centre in Lancing. Once training has finished, you will then be responsible for driving the players safely back to their homes and then back to the training ground once more, to return the minibus. You will safely operate the vehicle according to the clubs transport policy and ensure it is always kept in a safe and clean condition.

This role would mainly involve working a split shift so we are looking for candidates who can be flexible to meet the requirements of the position and the business.

What are we looking for

We are looking for friendly individuals who consistently embody our club values. The successful candidates will have previous experience of driving a 9-seater vehicle, transporting school age children. You will understand the importance of safeguarding policies and procedures and how these relate to a minibus driver role in a football environment.

It is essential that you hold a full, clean and valid driving licence ideally with a non-restricted D1 category authorisation. In order to drive our 17+ seater buses, you will be required to hold a DCPC qualification card, this is not essential but would be ideal!
