Job Description

School Bus / Coach Driver

Pulhams Coaches is a family feel, coach and bus operator based in Bourton-on-the-Water, in the Cotswolds. Established in 1880, we are an award-winning business of over 140 years who recently became part of Oxford Bus Company (Go-Ahead Group). We are members of the prestigious Guild of British Coach Operators and DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme; amongst the highest performing operators in the UK. Pulhams Coaches operates 160 buses and coaches on a mix of work including private hire trips, UK and European tours, Home to School transport, educational excursions and local bus services.

We're looking for additional home-to-school drivers, who may want to do part time work, rather than commit to one of our full time vacancies.

Vacancies for home-to-school drivers involve operating a morning and afternoon school for 96 per day. You'll work term time only, Monday to Friday (between 188 and 192 days per year). Sometimes, we may be able to find you work to do in-between your schools, but this is neither guaranteed or required. If you'd rather just do your AM and PM school, that is fine.
