Student Support Assistant: Transportation and Facilities Specialist at California Heritage YouthBuild Academy

Job Summary

Job Summary

The Transportation and Facilities Specialist is primarily responsible for transporting students to/from school and to/from electives and appointments using a school vehicle. Many of our students and families are vehicle insecure. Our drivers help eliminate the barrier of getting to school and to other important appointments, and therefore, help maintain and encourage consistent school attendance. Our drivers are the first link in a long chain that supports our students. Traditionally our drivers have the deepest knowledge and some of the deepest connections to our student population because they are the first to greet and the last to say goodbye at the end of each school day. This position requires the ability to work closely with our Attendance Specialist on a daily basis to coordinate transportation. Driving schedules are mostly predictable but oftentimes our drivers pick up students who missed a morning route or drop off students at appointments creating a need to be flexible and student-centered within the work shift. The SSA: Transportation and Facilities Specialist also assists with coordinating our daily meal pickups, cafeteria management, and supervision of the student population during recess/breaks, upkeep of fleet maintenance, facilities maintenance and upkeep, and help with purchasing/organizing facility supplies.
