Carer / Supervisor – School Transport -Disability support

Family-Owned Bus Company (30+ Years Experience)

We are a family-owned bus company with over 30 years' experience supporting children with disabilities to travel safely and comfortably to and from school.

About the Role

• Help create a peaceful, restful environment for students who have long school days

You will work with the same 5–7 children regularly, allowing you to understand their individual needs and appreciate their unique personalities.

About You

You are kind, patient, and compassionate, with a genuine heart for supporting children with disabilities.

Previous experience in disability support, education support, or aged care would be helpful but is not essential.

We value people who have:

• Awareness of disability in everyday life

• A natural willingness to notice and assist others

• Respect for dignity, choice, and independence

During the recruitment process, we may ask about your exposure to people with disabilities in your own life or community. Lived experience is not required, but simple acts of awareness and kindness matter to us—such as offering help to someone elderly or assisting a person using a wheelchair (always after checking if help is needed).

As a family business, we were raised alongside people impacted by disability, and this shapes how we care for our staff and the children we support.

Why Join Us?

• Meaningful, purpose-driven work

• Small, consistent group of children

• Supportive, family-oriented team culture

• School holidays and public holidays shift free

• permanent shifts

If you are looking for work that truly makes a difference and value being part of a thoughtful, caring team, we would love to hear from you.
