Henrico County Public Schools will host job fairs Aug. 2 and 8 to meet with prospective teachers, substitute teachers, registered nurses, clinic aides, bus drivers, school nutrition services staff members and custodial workers.

The first event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tuckahoe Area Library, 1901 Starling Drive. Candidates for all available positions will be able to meet with school system officials.

The second event will take place at Libbie Mill Library from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and will provide a chance for prospective bus drivers and school nutrition services members to meet with officials.

Those who can’t make either event but who are interested in job opportunities should contact the Henrico Schools Human Resources Department at (804) 652-3664 and visit henricoschools.us/careers in advance to view details and apply.

The school system is offering newly hired bus drivers a bonus of as much as $3,000, paid in installments throughout the year, when they join the transportation team. HCPS also has offered new safe driver and attendance incentives to drivers already on staff. Extended full-time contracts for up to 219 days are available for candidates interested in working during the summer.

Qualified driver candidates will be paid as they train.

Candidates for full-time and substitute bus drivers must: be at least 21 years old; have a valid Virginia driver’s license; be able to obtain a CDL Class B instructional permit or hold a CDL Class B license with endorsements in P (Transporting Passengers)/S (School Bus) and airbrakes; pass a physical and a drug test.
