Join Arriva as a Bus Driver

At Arriva, our Bus Drivers are at the heart of the communities 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 teamwork and supporting each other as well as our customers.

We are currently recruiting for both Trainee and Experienced Bus Drivers at our Birkenhead depot.

We’re offering full-time opportunities with the potential for overtime if you wish to take additional hours. You will be supplied with a uniform, training, and development opportunities to grow your experience and career within the company.

All successful candidates will attend an induction at a local depot, which includes vehicle familiarisation, route learning, ticket machines, customer care, policies, and procedures.
