Now Hiring Part Time School Bus Monitor for Bowling Green, MO

As a First Student Part Time School Bus Monitor you will play a vital role in your community and the lives of the students you transport. You will be there at the start of the students' day with before-school pickup and at the end with an afternoon shift to bring students safely back home.

No experience as a school bus monitor is required! We're proud to train you with our industry-leading technology to help you succeed.

Your day will include:

  • A split shift, which means an early morning before-school pickup and an after-school drop-off with a few free hours in between.
  • A guaranteed shift of (4) hours per school day, no working nights or weekends unless you want to.
  • Additional hours gained through trips and charters when available.

School Bus Monitor benefits:

  • $16.00 / hour starting wage, based on School Bus Monitor experience.
  • Medical, Dental, & Vision Benefits plus 401k Retirement Savings Plans (Benefits offered may vary by location or CBA)
  • No experience necessary.

For our Bus Monitor roles, First Student encourages applications from candidates who:

  • Do not have a college degree or high school diploma.
  • Have military experience.
  • Are returning to the workforce or looking for a second job.
  • Are retirees.
  • Are looking to jump start a new career.

You might be a good fit if you:

  • Are looking for a part-time schedule.
  • Enjoy working with students.
  • Are at least 21 years old.
  • Have a valid driver's license for at least 3 years.

This position is subject to DOT drug testing as a safety-sensitive employee. DOT Regulation 49 CFR Part 40 does not authorize the use of Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, for any reason.

At First Student, we are a family of 60,000+ employees who take pride in safely transporting more than 5 million students and passengers to and from their destinations each day! Our family of brands include Transco, Total Transportation, Maggies Paratransit, and GVC II. Our employees are at the forefront of safety and innovation; they create and implement the most advanced training and technology the transportation industry has to offer.


In the state of Washington, all technician and driving positions, including but not limited to van drivers and any other position requiring employees to drive a company-owned vehicle, are considered safety-sensitive and are therefore subject to drug and alcohol testing, including cannabis.

First is also committed to providing a drug-free workplace.
