Job description

Description:

Bus Drive/Floater

My Place Child Care & School Age Center is looking for bus drivers/teachers for our program. Open availability is preferred as you may be requested to work different shifts occasionally. If you have a passion for working with children or want to make a difference in the early education in our community, please contact us. We are looking for high energy, caring staff members to add to our team. Previous experience is a plus, but not required. You can email us at myplaceccandsac@gmail.com or drop off a resume at 1335 E. Main St., Newark, OH 43055.

Teachers plan/carry out creative, engaging experiences based on our curriculum and standards for our children in addition to helping children with meeting milestones, completing observations, and helping with schoolwork or remote learning. Teachers ensure a safe, caring environment for our children and families. Teachers are expected to actively supervise activities, communicate regularly with children, parents and other staff members to meet the needs of all of the children in our care. 

Hours for these positions may change based on enrollment.

Drivers must have a clean driving record. They are responsible to safely transport children to/from school daily following all road, traffic, and JFS safety regulations as well as supervision, maintain ratios and follow all center rules. They must maintain safety of the bus and relationships with the schools with which we transport. Durning summers if available, drivers may be asked to drive & supervise field trips to locations off site where they would be the teacher of record. Drivers when not doing driving related duties would be assigned as floaters. This is NOT a remote position. 

Floaters may be assigned to a starting classroom each day and move to different classrooms based on needs. Floaters carry out lesson plans created by other teachers but may need to improvise depending on the day or needs of the children. Floaters are usually scheduled regular times daily and cover a variety of areas. 

We offer competitive wages based on education and experience in the field. 

For more information, you may call the center at 740-349-3505.

The hours for this position would be approximately 2:30pm- 7:30/8:00pm during the school year. Interested candidates must be able to meet the time requirements. This is NOT a remote position.
