Guaranteed 40 minimum hours with overtime for those who want to increase their earnings

Plenty of job security from being a key worker at the heart of our communities, where we always need great people behind the wheel

Supportive and high quality training from some of the best (and nicest!) driving instructors and training managers in the industry – we’ll teach you everything you need to know about our routes, our vehicles, our tickets and more

Career development including our Trade Up scheme for drivers who want to move into engineering, promotion opportunities to Lead Driver, Inspector, Controller and Driving Instructor, and routes into management and leadership for those who want that

Secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in the business, either on big events or into our head office support functions

An employee assistance programme to support health and wellbeing through a confidential service available 24 hours a day which provides specialist guidance and assistance on a range of personal and work-related issues, from dealing with stress and anxiety to managing financial, marital or legal issues. Face-to-face counselling sessions are also offered, alongside telephone and online support.

A great working environment with loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great workmates, managers who work hard to create great places to work, and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural and LGBTQ+ colleagues

The recruitment process is simple – you apply online, we’ll get you in for an interview and to see the depot, and that’s it!

It doesn’t matter if you’re working in customer service, retail, hospitality or in a warehouse or factory, the only things we need are…

You need to have held a full UK car driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points for 12 months
You need to want to deliver great customer service
You need to have a patient, safe and courteous approach to driving

So if that’s you, and you like what we’re offering, then please apply!
