Are you looking for a full-time, permanent Bus Driver role

  • Where you’re treated as an individual, not just a number?
  • In a bus company with a modern fleet?
  • Paid breaks?
  • Free on-site parking?
  • A company that keeps day rotas and late rotas completely separate and where set rolling rotas offer guaranteed hours and predictability?

Compass Travel is an independent bus operator with a friendly, down-to-earth team who recognise good work and have a genuine open-door policy. We’re smaller than many of the big operators which means our Drivers get to know the people they work with.

  • Free on-site parking

  • Career progression opportunities
  • Pension
  • Uniform
  • Free teas and coffees at the depot
  • The choice to join a benefit scheme for £1.25 per week which gives access to health and welfare benefits (optional)
  • After 2 weeks of employment, the opportunity to apply for discretionary, non-contractual family travel passes (you, your live-in partner/spouse and up to 5 child passes up to the age of 19 across participating bus companies).
  • £14.80 per hour Monday to Saturday and £17.80 per hour Sundays and Bank Holidays (and any duties assigned which finish after 10pm) ***Pay currently under review***

What you’ll need:

  • Valid Category D driving licence
  • Valid Driver CPC card
