This role offers a different pace of driving, with open-road journeys, varied destinations and scenic routes, making it a great alternative to the demands of busy urban service work. You’ll become part of a supportive local team while also joining a growing national coach operation, with opportunities to build a long-term career.
The Role
As a Coach Driver, you’ll be responsible for delivering safe, reliable and comfortable journeys for customers. You’ll drive modern coaches across a wide range of routes, from busy towns and cities to beautiful rural locations, making sure every passenger receives a friendly and professional service. With a structured rota and plenty of variety, every working day offers something different. You’ll enjoy longer-distance driving, visiting new destinations and seeing more of the UK from behind the wheel.
