Due to personal circumstances we have had a couple of our driving team drop out and as such we have 2 positions available.
So why would you want to leave your current job and come and work for us:-
Pay (the most important one) - We offer £14 per hour, paid weekly into your bank on a Friday. Your payslips are available to view via an Online App .
Holidays (everyone needs a ) We offer you 32 days paid holiday, your holiday pay is worked out over your average weekly hours.
Contracts (abit of safety and security) - You receive a Contract of Employment which outlines your job rights and renumerations. It states how many hours you will work a week (based on your chosen shift patterns).
Hours and Shifts (Everyone needs a life) We work differently to the big bus companies. We can tailor hours and shifts to fit your life, responsibilities or choices. You come to us and we'll have a chat and work out what's best for both of us (and you don't need to fill in a form and wait for a meeting before it gets signed off)
Breaks (brew time is always a good time) For this contract we have a dedicated break room in Poulton that is away from the public and a chance for you to relax and unwind. We don't pay for the first 1 hour of your breaks however but if you have a duty with multiple additional breaks are paid.
Culture (what??) We encourage a positive culture in our workplace. Everyone has a laugh, everyone gets on and we have a team culture at Archway. Ultimately we are a family company with family values and I will not ask anyone to do anything i wouldn't do myself. My Grandad started the business over 30 years ago, my dad carrying it on and ultimately i am here developing and growing the business to what it is today. This is a big opportunity for Archway and we are embracing it and looking forward to several years of service working with Lancashire County Council. Ultimately we all pull together to get the job done and have the craic whilst we are doing it. Workplace banter is a big thing for me and there is certainly no them and us culture like you get in big bus companies. Whilst there are managers in place for the day to day, ultimately any issues are dealt with by me. That said we recognise the fact that our staff are adults, with lives that comes with certain stresses and strains and we do our best to support you wherever possible.
Vehicles (ohh important part of being a bus driver) We have invested heavily in our fleet over the last few years. For this contract we have a fleet of 10 ADL E200 MMC Buses, each with various creature comforts that will make your job as easy as it can be. The job can be stressful enough at times and i am a firm believer of doing everything you can to make life easy The vehicles are maintained in house by our IRTEC accredited workshop and IRTEC licensed Technicians.
Licensing (The dreaded medical and Driver CPC renewal) We provide Driver CPC for all our staff, we pay for the course but not for you to attend. With regards to medical we work with a couple of Medical Providers to assist you in getting it booked and paid for. Obviously you need to have a Category D license and a valid current Driver CPC (Don't worry if yours runs out on the 9th can work with you to sort that out)
So how does that sound??? Sound like something you want to be a part of?? Apologies for the length of the post but I'm a firm believer of putting the cards on the table so you can make informed decisions with facts
Give us a shout on, send us a copy of your CV to or send us a message. We'll arrange for you to come in, sit down and have a brew with us and we can have a chat.
Thankyou and look forward to hearing from you
