BUS AIDE. THE PERSON KIDS REMEMBER.
The Role
SUPPORTING STUDENTS ON EVERY RUN
Create a safe, supportive environment for students on every journey. Aid with vehicle access, manage seatbelt and harness checks, complete attendance records, and be a positive presence on every route.
You work as a pair with the driver: they handle the road, you handle the cabin. That means access and egress, restraints and harnesses, attendance records, and being the calm, familiar face at the door each morning.
Many routes run school hours only, which suits people who want work that fits around the rest of their day.
