For Brampton job hunters looking for a position that pays well and provides a sense of well-being, your future could involve driving a school bus with First Student.
First Student, the largest transportation company in North America, is currently hiring school bus drivers for the upcoming academic year. No experience or special training is necessary – they provide all the (free) training you’ll need to drive the bus and get your B-license for free, while also offering a $2,000 sign-on bonus for G license applicants. All necessary PPE is also provided.
Driving and operating a school bus might seem difficult at first, but First Student is dedicated to helping drivers succeed. They make sure you’re well equipped for every aspect of the job, from driving the bus to performing inspections to relating to the students.
With their ultramodern DriverHub tablet technology, drivers get directions for their routes, insights into the bus’ mechanics, and real-time coaching, allowing them to do their job with peace of mind as they serve the local community.
As you take care of the students, First Student wants to take care of you – in addition to the $1,000 sign-on bonus, they offer strong benefit packages that allow you to prioritize both your physical and mental health.
Not only that, parents can bring their kids along for the ride, and the time between morning and afternoon runs means you’ll have the freedom in your schedule to take care of errands, handle the grocery shopping, and make doctors’ appointments. Plus, your calendar is the same as the school’s calendar, so you get off all holidays and vacations.
Because First Student is the industry leader in transportation, their employees get the benefits that come with working for a company that’s focused on the future. First Student drivers operate modern buses that are built on innovation, including air-cushioned driver seats that offer more support and greater comfort than traditional seats, automatic door-opening systems that keep you from wearing out your arm, computerized diagnostic tools that give you clarity into your bus’ mechanics, and an innovative mirror system that greatly increases drivers’ visibility.
With the industry moving fast and constantly evolving, there are countless opportunities to advance within the company. Their First America University programs give you continued on-the-job training that you can tailor to meet your needs and interests. And because First Student spans across North America – from Pennsylvania to Puerto Rico, Montreal to Minnesota – you can pursue your ambitions no matter where they may take you.
First Student is also dedicated to creating a more just and inclusive environment for both drivers and students. The racial and gender diversity of First Student’s workforce exceeds that of the US workforce as a whole, and the company’s Diversity & Inclusion Council regularly comes together to find new and impactful ways to promote diversity and inclusion in all areas of their day-to-day work.
Working for First Student is more than just driving a bus – it’s about fostering relationships, being a proud member of the community, and creating a safe and welcoming space for students as they begin and end their day. It’s about providing an environment where kids feel seen and cared for, setting them up to succeed at school and safely carrying them into their futures.
If that sounds like the ideal position for you, then you’re encouraged to join the First Student team. View career opportunities at workatfirst.com or call their local branch at 905-857-4370.
