School Bus Driver

The Opportunity
We are looking for reliable and community minded School Bus Drivers to join our team in Waiuku.

This is a rewarding part-time role where you’ll play an important part in safely transporting students to and from school each day. With morning and afternoon runs, this position offers excellent work-life balance and suits those looking for consistent, local work.
