School Run Assistant - Battersea.

Description

KinRoute — Driving Assistant Needed, South West London

(Battersea/Clapham/Wandsworth), Urgent, Sept Start.

KinRoute is recruiting for a regular school-run role in South West London, starting September.

The role:

• Drive and escort a child to and from school, door-to-door, Monday–Friday
• Morning: approx. 7:40am–8:40am
• Afternoon: approx. 3:00pm–4:00pm
• Own car required (ULEZ-compliant)
• Same child, same escort, every day

This role suits someone with flexible daytime availability — ideal alongside other part-time work, freelance commitments, or your own school-hours routine.

This is a childcare role, not a chauffeur or private driver position. Alongside driving, you'll be responsible for:

• Checking in on the child's wellbeing and mood, and responding calmly if something seems off
• Keeping them safe, comfortable and engaged throughout the journey
• Managing bags, school kit, and any specific needs shared by the parent
• Ensuring safe handover at both ends — into school, and back to a parent/guardian
• Sending a brief update to the parent at collection and drop-off
• Using good judgement and safeguarding awareness at all times

Pay: From £40/day.

Who we're looking for:

• Calm, discreet, and professional — comfortable working closely with high-profile families and respecting their privacy at all times
• Reliable and punctual, with excellent local knowledge of SW London
• Genuine enjoyment of working with children, with a warm but measured manner.

What you'll need:

• Full clean UK driving licence (2–3+ years held)
• Own vehicle, MOT and tax current, ULEZ-compliant
• Business-use car insurance covering childcare/passenger transport (or willingness to arrange)
• Enhanced DBS, ideally on the Update Service (or willingness to obtain one — KinRoute can support with this)
• Paediatric first aid certificate (or willingness to complete — course cost may be supported)
• References from previous childcare or family-facing roles
• Right to work in the UK

We're looking to confirm someone quickly ahead of September — please get in touch as soon as possible with a short CV.
