MONITOR/AIDE

This is a non-driving position. You'll ride along with students traveling to and from school, educational programs, and work programs throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. Your job is to help maintain a safe, calm, and orderly environment inside the vehicle so our driver can stay focused on the road.
