Job Description

Join the Elite Driver Academy and Serve Your Community with Pride!

Being a bus driver is a job with real purpose, and days are never the same as you're out and about driving around the region. Our drivers help people to get out and about whether that's to work or school, a night out or a trip to the shops or doctors, so it's a really important job and our garages are real communities in their own right with a real team spirit.

What will I earn?

Existing PCV licence holders joining the company will earn a minimum 14.84 per hour (30,095) from day one.

Overtime is also regularly available if you'd like to boost your earnings - it's not uncommon for drivers to earn around 33,500 a year!

We are also looking for Trainee bus drivers. See our other ads for more details.

Where will I be based?

Almost 2,000 people work at the company, driving and maintaining its fleet of 500 buses at garages across the region in Gateshead, Sunderland, Washington, North Tyneside, Hexham and Consett. We have ongoing vacancies at most locations and you can request which location you'd like to work at and we will try and accommodate or offer you the nearest location of your choice.
