Job description

We're looking for caring, compassionate people to join us as Casual School Bus Supervisors, supporting students with specialist needs and/or intellectual disabilities to travel safely to and from school.

More than supervision, this role is about connection, reassurance and care. You'll be a trusted and familiar face, helping students feel safe, supported and valued every day.

• De‑escalate anxiety through patience and empathy
• Celebrate progress, no matter how small
• Play a positive role in a young person’s daily routine

• Ensuring safe, respectful pick‑up and drop‑off of each student
• Being part of a team that puts care and dignity first

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous experience — what matters most is who you are. This role is ideal for people who are:

• Kind, patient, and empathetic
• Naturally caring and community‑minded
• Comfortable working with children with additional needs
• Reliable and able to build positive relationships
• You will need to be resilient and have the ability to think clearly under pressure. This role can involve high-stress situations where students’ safety and wellbeing are a priority

It’s about people, trust, and care — and the difference one compassionate adult can make.
