Additional Information:
We are a mainstream school with two special classes for children with an ASD diagnosis. We are seeking a bus escort to support and supervise our students during their transportation to and from school. The route will start at the school, with the escort meeting the bus operator each morning.
The bus escort will be responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of the children on the bus or taxi. This includes assisting children with boarding and alighting, securing seat belts, and providing general pupil care as needed.
Experience working with children with autism and complex needs is preferred. An understanding of children with special needs is important, and the ideal candidate will be kind, patient, and empathetic. The role requires professional communication with parents and school staff regarding pickups, drop-offs, illnesses, traffic, delays, and other relevant matters.
This position will be 10 hours per week during the school term, at a rate of €15.98 per hour. Holiday pay of 8% is paid twice yearly.
Candidates are encouraged to include details of any relevant professional development, such as First Aid or Manual Handling training.
All appointments are subject to Garda Vetting, an occupational health check, reference verification, and completion of Tusla Children First training, in accordance with Department of Education guidelines.
To apply, please send a letter of application and an up-to-date CV, including a mobile phone number for two referees, to applications@stanhopestreetprimary.ie with the subject line 'Bus Escort Application'.
The position will start as soon as the vetting process is completed.
