This student requires dedicated support during transportation to and from school, with responsibilities split between morning and afternoon bus rides.

Your day will start with accompanying the student from 7:00am to 9:00am and resume in the afternoon from 2:30pm to 4:30pm, occasionally extending later. With approximately 20-25 hours per week, this position offers the flexibility to work mornings or afternoons exclusively if preferred, making it ideal for candidates seeking a part-time opportunity or two nurses interested in splitting shifts.

  • Monitor, respond, and manage medical emergencies such as seizures
  • Maintain detailed care notes, documenting any incidents or changes
  • Assist with daily mobility and ensure the student’s comfort and safety
  • Collaborate with school and transport staff to coordinate care
