Keeping our county on the move
From operating waste facilities and registration offices, to maintaining roads and major infrastructure planning, the services delivered by the Communities, Economy and Transport department at East Sussex County Council have an enormous impact on the lives of local people and the natural environment.

Our Transport Hub is responsible for providing a range of high quality, good value transport services across East Sussex. This includes public bus services, dedicated home-to-school transport services and specialist transport solutions for vulnerable adults. We help public transport services to change and adapt to infrastructure and demands by, for example, supporting the introduction of real-time passenger information at bus stops or re-routing services around roadworks.

Joining our Transport Hub, you’ll have every opportunity to develop your leadership skills. Tasked with providing safe, reliable home-to-school transport for over 3,000 school pupils countywide, you will work in partnership with local transport operators.

With a focus on home-to-school transport, you will need to be able to prioritise the work of your team to ensure we deliver a truly joined-up service. A good understanding of budget management and contract management is essential, as you and your team will need to work with a variety of transport operators to ensure our customers receive a quality service that represents good value for money.
