School bus driver, starting September

Simonds of Botesdale, now part of the Transport Made Simple Group, are looking to recruit school bus and coach drivers to join our friendly team in Diss, south Norfolk. This term time only position involves driving a morning and afternoon school contract, with no requirement to be available for work during the middle of the day.
We do expect drivers to put fuel, AdBlue and screenwash into their buses at the start / end of their shifts as required. We also require all vehicles to be litter picked and swept at the end of every shift. Where you have spare time (e.g. on depot spare shifts) you will be expected to do more thorough vehicle cleaning, including mopping and other interior cleaning and using appropriate equipment to conduct external cleaning. In all cases full training is given, PPE is provided and all of these duties are completed within paid time.
If you do not have a current Driver CPC, this is not a problem. We provide CPC training to all colleagues, and can arrange this for you before you start with us if required. We cover the cost of all CPC training, and also pay you for your time completing CPC training.
We offer a flexible, friendly working environment with local management who work hard to offer an enjoyable working environment for drivers. Our modern fleet of vehicles is maintained to the highest standard, and we invest heavily in new fleet. All brand new vehicles ordered are also specified with driver (cab) air conditioning and driver USB charging sockets, to make your time at work that little bit more pleasant.
We're looking for candidates with a full category D. You must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK, and you must bring a flexible, helpful and customer-focused approach to your work. We also need you to be confident using smartphone technology for walkaround checks and to receive job details, as we are a digital-first business.
