If you’re already a qualified PCV driver, you’ll start on a higher salary that reflects your years on the road. For example, if you already have five years’ employment with another London bus operator, you would join us on our top rate.
On top of those competitive salaries, you can also enhance your income through overtime.
There are great benefits too:
- Job security – we’ve been going since 1980, we turnover £1.3bn per year, and we’re not planning on hanging our boots up anytime soon !
- Non-contractual travel concessions on TfL contracted bus/tube services for you (and a member of your household after a qualifying period).
- A great regular income – paid weekly so it’s never too long between pay days.
- Pension scheme – employee contribution of 5% and employer contribution of 3%.
- Life cover of 1x pay.
- Holiday entitlement – 28 days including Bank Holidays increasing further after a qualifying period.
- Flexibility – we’ve got different shifts available so you can fit work around your existing commitments.
- Reduced hours or weekends only work available.
- On-going training.
- Careers development – opportunities including access to our annual management training scheme (many of our drivers have gone on to be Trainers, Garage Supervisors, Network Controllers or have other senior management roles).
- UK wide opportunities – fancy a move to Devon in a few years ? Other half wants to live in Yorkshire? We run bus companies across the UK, so if you do want to move from London, rest assured you’ll be okay for employment!
- Health and well-being ethos.
