Our Opportunities

Trainee Bus Driver

You might not have considered driving a bus before and that’s ok! If you’ve held a full UK driving licence for at least 6 months (with a maximum of 6 penalty points), we’ll give you all the training and support you’ll need to become a qualified bus driver.

Your training will be fully paid, and we’ll support you every step of the way to become a qualified PCV licence holder. Our training schools will help you with:

  • Getting to know our business
  • Training for a PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) Licence
  • Getting to know our buses and the routes of our services
  • Ticket machine and ticket type training
  • Safety training so you can keep you, your passengers, and your colleagues safe

You’ll also have a buddy driver who’ll continue to support you and mentoring from other colleagues to make sure we’re setting you up for success. We want our colleagues to be reflective of the communities we serve, and our ambition is to be a diverse and inclusive business where all our colleagues can thrive.
