Please note - this role does include alternate weekends
Central Connect, now part of the Transport Made Simple Group, are recruiting for Bus Drivers to come and drive our new minibuses and buses on local bus routes on a growing number of routes.
We are in the process of recruiting again at our depot in Loughborough, where all of our local services will run from.
Our duty times range from 04:30 until 23:00, operating 7 days a week.
All full time drivers are guaranteed 40 hours pay per week. Most rota lines have 42-43 paid hours on them.
We pay from duty start to duty finish less one hour for lunch breaks. Breaks are taken away from the depot, and you will have use of a shuttle vehicle during your break should you wish to travel away from your changeover location.
We do expect drivers to put fuel, AdBlue and screenwash into their buses at the start / end of their shifts as required. We also require all vehicles to be litter picked and swept at the end of every shift. Where you have spare time (e.g. on depot spare shifts) you will be expected to do more thorough vehicle cleaning, including mopping and other interior cleaning and using appropriate equipment to conduct external cleaning.
In all cases full training is given, PPE is provided and all of these duties are completed within paid time.
If you do not have a current Driver CPC, this is not a problem. We provide CPC training to all colleagues and can arrange this for you before you start with us if required. At Central Connect our policy is to pay for all CPC training that drivers require, and we also pay you seven hours pay for every day of CPC training completed.
