Experienced Coach Driver

Are you ready to advance your career with one of the UK's leading bus operators? Join a forward-thinking company that embraces cutting-edge bus technology, from innovative mobile apps to environmentally friendly vehicles. We are passionate about delivering passenger journeys that are sustainable, comfortable, and efficient. We are at the forefront of innovation in the industry, connecting communities and shaping the future of public transport.

Join First Bus and FlixBus as we grow our coach operation from Cornwall. We’re looking for experienced PCV Drivers who enjoy driving modern vehicles and providing safe, comfortable and dependable journeys for passengers travelling across the UK. If you’re ready for a change from traditional local bus driving, this is a great opportunity to experience longer-distance routes, discover different destinations and enjoy a more relaxed style of driving, while still benefiting from the security and benefits of working for an established operator.

You’ll earn £15.50 per hour, equating to over £30,000 a year, on a permanent full time contract. You’ll have the opportunity to drive modern, comfortable coaches across a variety of long-distance routes throughout the UK. 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.

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.
