Overview of project/role

Bus Performance Management sits at the heart of TfL's Bus Operations function, helping to ensure London's extensive bus network delivers a safe, reliable and high-quality service for millions of customers every day.

Working closely with colleagues across Bus Service Delivery, Public Transport Service Planning and Network Management, you'll bring together and analyse passenger, operational and commercial information, helping to identify impacts and support the effective recovery of associated costs and lost revenue from HS2.

• Build strong stakeholder relationships by developing effective partnerships with TfL teams and colleagues involved in the wider HS2 programme

As part of the Disability Confident scheme, we aim to offer an assessment or interview to candidates who apply via the scheme where the minimum essential criteria for skills, knowledge and experience have been met.

Across all recruitment activity, we recognise that selection methods may vary depending on the nature and scale of the campaign and will be applied fairly, consistently and proportionately in line with our Disability Confident commitments.

In return for your commitment and expertise, you will enjoy excellent benefits and scope to grow. Rewards vary according to the level of role but mostly include the below:

• Final salary pension scheme
• Free travel for you on the TfL network
• Reimbursement of 75% of the cost of a standard class Ticket for National Rail travel from home
