Job Description:

Job Description Our purpose is to enable every single child to access the opportunities they deserve. Specifically, we eliminate transportation as a barrier to children's success. We do this by mobilizing outstanding adults who want to make a difference, so that our partners can focus elsewhere. Our work is guided by four core values:
1. Kids First: We can spend 100+ hours a year driving each child; we make those hours count.
2. Excellence Everywhere: We bring the same high level of urgency and quality to every child and every district.
3. Learn Continuously: We are scrappy problem-solvers who treat mistakes as opportunities to grow.
4. Trust Is Everything: We treat each other with respect and candor, and we always keep our word. We drive many students who are experiencing homelessness, living in foster care, or living with mental or emotional special needs, or other circumstances that make the traditional yellow school bus not the best option. We match each student with a driver who takes that student to and from school everyday. Many of our drivers are current or former teachers, nurses, nannies, babysitters, personal caregivers, nursing home aides, social workers, parents, and grandparents who are eager to be a positive influence in their students' lives. Responsibilities:
--- Drive K-12 students safely and reliably to and from school
--- Create a positive, kind, and welcoming environment for children
--- Communicate consistently with parents, caregivers, and school staff
--- Be available from 6:30-9:30am and 1:30-4:30pm on weekdays Requirements:

--- You have an insured four-door vehicle in good condition and a smartphone
--- You are able to pass a comprehensive background check, including fingerprinting, drug screening, and physical exam (all costs are reimbursable upon completion) Benefits:
--- Work 5-20 hours per week during the school year
--- Earn above-average wages in pay per route, plus potential additional amounts for how long and far you drive (rates vary by location)
--- Collaborate with like-minded adults who share your mission and values
--- Enjoy comprehensive training and a friendly and supportive office staff Assist Services is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and considers qualified applicants for employment regardless of race, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, religion, disability, veteran's status, sexual orientation, or any other protected factor.
