Thames Travel hosting bus driver recruitment day

Thames Travel is hosting a recruitment day to offer job hunters the opportunity to become a bus driver.

 The special bus driver recruitment day provides a fast-track route for suitable people to secure a full-time or part-time driving job. A £4,000 bonus scheme is on offer for existing PCV licence holders.

The drop-in-style event on Sunday November 24th will help people learn more about life as a bus or coach driver and receive help completing an application form.

Bus and coach drivers are an integral part of UK society and often at the heart of their local communities. Being a driver means playing an essential role keeping people connected with friends and family, making sure they can access essential services, and travel to work, education or other training opportunities.

Luke Marion, Thames Travel Managing Director, said: “Bus and coach driving is a hugely rewarding job and a lot of our drivers have been with us for many years. They are a vital part of our community, helping connect people, reduce congestion and improve air quality. 

“Our recruitment days help keep the process as simple as possible and I’d encourage people to come and check it out.”

The recruitment day will take place between 10am and 3pm in the Singer Suite at Milton Hill House Hotel, Milton Hill, Steventon, Abingdon. A free shuttle service will be available on the day from Abingdon and Didcot to the hotel. 

Candidates need to have held a manual driving licence for 12 months and have experience of providing excellent customer service skills. A variety of full and part time shift patterns to accommodate differing lifestyles are available. Full training is provided for all successful candidates and benefits include free bus travel for immediate family.
