Special Needs School Bus Driver

Drive with Purpose. Make a Difference Every School Day.
At 4Seasons Transportation, we're not your typical big yellow school bus. Our drivers go into the community in small busses, and pick up students with special needs right at their door, driving a smaller group of kids each day. You'll become a familiar, trusted part of each child's daily routine, and the friendly, steady face that starts and ends their school day.
For many of our students, a predictable routine and a driver they know make all the difference. We're looking for someone who understands that and wants to build real relationships with the kids and families they serve.
No bus driving experience needed. If you have a valid Alberta Class 5 licence and 3+ years of winter driving experience, we'll give you paid training and help you get everything else you need:
Upgrading to your Class 4 driver's licence
First Aid/CPR certification
DART driver training course
Training to support children with special needs, including mobility devices and boarding assistance

Our culture sets us apart. We were named one of Canada's Most Admired Corporate Cultures, with employee satisfaction above the school-bussing industry average. Our Glassdoor rating is more than 30% above the transportation industry average, and 96% of reviewers would recommend working here.
