Job description

Level: Entry | Job Location: Garrison Forest - Owings Mills, MD 21117 | Salary Range: $16.00 - $18.00 Hourly

Garrison Forest School is seeking an experienced bus driver using a GFS mini‑bus or van to transport students from our school to another location in Baltimore. The days needed are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons, departing GFS around 12:35pm and returning by approximately 5‑5:15pm. Interaction with the students (about 14 per term) is a part of this responsibility. This is a part‑time position and the hourly rate range for this position is $16‑$18per hour based on experience level; the exact compensation will be discussed during the hiring process.

Program basics

Now through the end of May.

• Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, except for:
• Thanksgiving break
• Winter break
• Spring break
• Some days during Exam Weeks (one in mid‑January, one in lateMay)
• Days students have no school or irregular school day (class retreat days, standardized testing days, etc.)
• Odd days here and there when the US has a day off and no student elects to participate

As of now we have a maximum of 13 students participating this fall. The location for drop‑offs/pick‑ups depends on factors including safety, access, and timing.

The driver typically waits at one of the locations in between drop‑off and pick‑up. Parking at the location doesn't accommodate the size of our mini‑bus. There is some street parking nearby. Returning to GFS between drop‑off and pick‑up is an option, but typically too tight timing‑wise.

We do watch the weather and sometimes don't go to one or both locations or move up the pickup times, if that seems advisable for safety.

There will be some other occasional driving needs for our Public Health program on other days/times, if/when the driver is available.

Qualifications

• Must have a good driving record, the ability to read, write, and speak English; may be subject to testing to satisfy the MVR regulations for school drivers; maintain a driving record in accordance with COMAR (code of Maryland regulations).
• Must possess, or be able to obtain, all valid applicable state licenses and other required certifications to operate company vehicles.
• Will be subject to background checks and other random screenings that may be applicable.
