Job description

At Arriva, our Bus Drivers are at the heart of the communities that we serve. Whether it’s getting children to school, commuters to work, or the public to events or shopping – we connect our customers to the people and places that matter to them.

We are one team with a shared passion for providing excellent customer service and playing a vital part in our local communities. Working as a Bus Driver, you will be part of one big team. We pride ourselves on our teamwork and supporting each other as well as our customers.

For experienced PCV Drivers, we offer a starting hourly rate of £13.90 rising to £16.35.

We’re offering full-time opportunities with the potential of taking on overtime if you wish to take additional hours. You will also be supplied with a uniform, training, and development – we have opportunities to develop your experience and your career across the business.

All successful candidates will attend an induction at a local depot which will give you all the training you need including vehicle familiarisation, route learning, ticket machines, customer care, policies, and procedures to get you ready to start in your new role as an Arriva Bus Driver.

About you:

Whilst you don’t need any experience driving a bus, we do have a few requirements. You’ll be over 18 with at least 6 months driving experience with no more than 6 points on your licence. So, if you’re passionate about great customer service and want to help support your local communities then we’d love to hear from you.

The role will be shift-based, so you’ll need to be prepared to work early, evenings, and weekends. Next stop, Arriva.

Benefits:

1. Fantastic career progression opportunities
2. Access to the 'Arriva Village', where you can take advantage of store discounts and offers
