Role Purpose
We’re looking for a friendly, reliable, and safety‑focused driver to help us deliver essential transport services for our communities. This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.

As the face of our organisation on the road, you’ll play an important part in ensuring passengers enjoy a safe, comfortable, and positive journey. Whether you’re helping pupils get to and from school, supporting special trips and excursions, or providing vital links for residents and visitors, your contribution will make a real difference every day.
We offer full training, ongoing support, and opportunities to develop your skills within a friendly and professional team. If you enjoy working with people, take pride in delivering excellent service, and thrive in a role with variety and responsibility, we’d love to hear from you.
Training can be offered to achieve category D Licence at a future date.
