Adult Day Program Driver Assistant

$19.25 per hour

Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc.

Adult Day Program Driver Assistant

Year‑Round Employment | Consistent Pay | Paid Time Off & Benefits

Are you looking for steady, year‑round work with great benefits and paid time off, not a position impacted by school breaks, holidays, or weeks without pay?

Our Adult Program Driver Assistants enjoy consistent schedules, guaranteed minimum hours, strong PTO growth, and meaningful work, supporting adult passengers with care, dignity, and respect.

Unlike school bus positions, this role operates 12 months a year with no unpaid school breaks.

Why This Job Stands Out

  • Year‑round employment 
  • Guaranteed minimum of 20 hours per week
  • Average 20–25 hours weekly (some routes offer more hours)
  • Predictable income you can rely on
  • Excellent PTO & sick time
  • Bonuses & benefits
  • Purpose‑driven, people‑focused work

Paid Time Off & Leave Benefits

We reward long‑term commitment with increasing PTO every year:

  • Year 1: 7 days PTO
  • Year 2: 13 days PTO
  • Year 3: 19 days PTO
  • Year 4+: 25 days PTO

- 56 hours of paid sick time annually

Pay Rate

$19.25
*
+$2.00 per hour for routes requiring CPR certification


Additional Compensation & Benefits

Bonuses
  • Christmas Bonus
  • Safety Bonus
  • Mid‑Year Bonus

Benefits Package

  • Medical Coverage
  • Life Insurance
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan

Position Responsibilities

  • Assist adult passengers with physical, emotional, or mobility needs
  • Ensure safe boarding, seating, and exiting from the vehicle
  • Monitor passenger well‑being throughout the route
  • Communicate professionally with drivers, dispatch, supervisors, and program staff
  • Follow all safety procedures, route instructions, and company policies
  • Provide a calm, respectful, and supportive presence at all times

Who We’re Looking For

  • Compassionate, patient, and dependable individuals
  • Comfortable working with adults with special needs
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Reliable attendance and punctuality
  • Able to pass a non‑DOT drug test and physical

Schedule & Pay Stability

  • Guaranteed minimum: 20 hours per week
  • Average: 20–25 hours per week, Monday to Friday
  • Routes may offer additional hours
  • Consistent work all year: no unpaid breaks

Career Growth Opportunities

Many Driver Assistants advance within the organization, including:

  • CDL training pathways
  • Driving positions
  • Para‑Transit and Transit roles
  • Dispatch, supervision, and management positions

We promote from within and invest in our employees’ long‑term success.
