Escorts are sought for new students at Kildare school

A second level school, based in Naas, is seeking bus escorts.

According to the school the escorts should be "reliable and patient.”

Naas CBS is endeavouring to source these escorts for incoming first year students and the school is trying to reach as many potential candidates as possible.

Two separate routes available: Celbridge/Naas and Rathcoole/Naas, though the exact routes will be confirmed.

The role includes accompanying and supervising the student to and from school, assisting with boarding and ensuring a safe handover.

The successful applicants must be reliable, punctual, patient and have good communication skills. They need to work appropriately with the student, family, school and driver.

Experience working with children or young people with additional needs is desirable but not essential.

The successful applicants must be available for both the morning and afternoon journeys, every school day. Those interested are asked not to apply if they cannot commit to these hours.

Garda vetting and satisfactory references will be required.

To apply please email [email protected] with a current CV, details of two referees (including contact telephone numbers) and a brief note outlining relevant experience and suitability for the role.

Shortlisting may apply and only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

The closing date for application is Monday, September 7.
