BUS DRIVER

Applicants for bus driver positions must possess a valid B.C. Class 2 (minimum) Driver's License including an air brakes endorsement. This is professional bus driving work providing transportation for students. Safety is the primary consideration of the job. The bus driver is responsible for obeying traffic and safety regulations while driving in a variety of road and weather conditions, and ensuring that the actions of the students do not provide a hazardous situation. Work is generally of a routine nature with established routes, however, additional trips both within and outside of the school district occur.

The bus driver reports to the Director of Operations. Initially, assignments are outlined and closely reviewed by the Director of Operations and Transportation Coordinator(s), but thereafter the bus driver works with little direct supervision while en route. The work has well defined operating procedures, methods and limits established by law, the School Board and departmental policy, including those for dealing with inappropriate behaviour. Unusual circumstances are referred to the Director of Operations and also, when appropriate, to the School Administrator on matters relating to student behaviour.

Job Requirements:

1. Possess a valid B.C. Class 2 (minimum) Driver’s License including an air endorsement.
