Bus Driver

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Christian Bus Driver to join our College in a part-time position (0.3 FTE) starting mid-November 2024 or Term 1 2025.

Do you have a passion for making a positive impact on children’s lives? Love driving and ensuring a safe, comfortable journey? If so, this may be the role for you!

The ideal candidate will be able to work independently for extended periods, as well as being a real “people person” with a love for sharing life and faith with staff and students in our College community.

 

About Rehoboth

As the first Christian parent-governed school in Western Australia, we are pioneers of distinctly Christian education. Our rich heritage stretches back almost sixty years; we have learned a fair bit in that time and are always seeking ways to improve and innovate.

Rehoboth exists to partner with families in their God-given task of nurturing and educating their children. You will be joining a team who really believe in their mission to lead students to think and live for the glory of God in every aspect of their lives.

 

About the Position

Your day will include safely transporting students from the College campus in the afternoons, carefully dropping off each child at their stop, and ensuring they safely reach home with a friendly wave and a smile.

The successful candidate will have a “can-do” attitude and always remain focused on safety and service delivery. Our staff adhere to the legal obligations regarding the maximum work hours and stand-down/rest requirements for passenger transport drivers. Our buses can accommodate 39 – 57 adult passengers.

This is an ongoing position to commence mid-November, and during term time only.

 

What You Need to Succeed

Apart from the necessary qualifications, we look for people who are a great cultural fit. Rehoboth is a community of Christians – parents and staff alike. We focus on supporting each other in our spiritual walks, encouraging students to explore their faith and discover their God-given gifts.

Because of the deeply Christian nature of our College, we consider all staff to be role models to students, no matter what position they hold. We take your active involvement in a local Protestant Christian church, a deeply committed Christian lifestyle, and ability to articulate your personal Christian faith as evidence of your desire to help build a vibrant Christian community at Rehoboth.

Here are the essential criteria for the position:

• you must be actively involved in a local Protestant Christian church and be able to demonstrate an exemplary Christian lifestyle
• have a good and safe driving record
• must hold or be willing to obtain a valid Passenger Transport Driver (PTD) authorisation license
• minimum Medium Rigid (MR) license
• you must hold or be willing to obtain a Working with Children Check, and
