Drive With Heart – Make a Difference Every Day
The Opportunity
We’re searching for Specialised School Transport Assistance (SESTA) Drivers to join our team in Westgate.
This is more than just a driving role – it’s meaningful, purpose-led work helping tamariki arrive at school safely, calmly, and with a friendly face they know and trust. You’ll work a guaranteed 4 paid hours per day, Monday to Friday, during school terms. School holidays are yours to enjoy (except when training or development is scheduled).
Our SESTA Drivers play a vital role in supporting whānau who rely on safe, reliable transport for their children. For many families, you’ll be an important part of their daily routine and a trusted presence in their child’s day.
The Tamariki we support are at the heart of everything we do. As a SESTA Driver, you’ll be transporting children with a range of abilities, needs, and personalities, so it’s important that you can approach every child with patience, understanding, and respect. We’re looking for people who can build positive relationships, adapt to different situations, and help create a safe, calm, and supportive journey for every passenger.
If you’re calm, patient, and enjoy connecting with people, this role could be life changing for you and for the children and whānau you support every day.
