Stagecoach Bus Driver Apprenticeship
Are you friendly and enjoy meeting new people? Do you have the drive to succeed? We have a fantastic opportunity for you to get behind the wheel of a career in bus driving. All you need to succeed is a full UK driving licence and a positive attitude!
We’re searching for sociable and reliable individuals to drive people in the right direction. You’ll be using your initiative and enjoy being part of a professional, dedicated team.
As a trainee driver you’ll be part of a team responsible for operating the company’s network of local bus services, providing essential transport for our local communities and beyond. Comprehensive training will be provided.
Suitability - Who should attend?
There are only two things we need from you:
- A driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points on it.
- A passion for delivering a great customer experience.
Bus driving apprenticeships are a great way of securing a job and getting into the passenger transport industry. Additionally, no formal qualifications are required although a good level of literacy and numeracy would be a distinct advantage.
You’ll be supported by an expert team throughout the apprenticeship with a programme designed by leading passenger transport operators so that you gain a quality learning experience by the sector and for the sector.
