*School Bus / Coach Driver *
Pulhams Coaches is a family feel, coach and bus operator based in Bourton-on-the-Water, in the Cotswolds. Established in 1880, we are an award-winning business of over 140 years who recently became part of Oxford Bus Company (Go-Ahead Group). We are members of the prestigious Guild of British Coach Operators and DVSA Earned Recognition Scheme; amongst the highest performing operators in the UK. Pulhams Coaches operates 160 buses and coaches on a mix of work including private hire trips, UK and European tours, Home to School transport, educational excursions and local bus services.
We're looking for additional home-to-school drivers, who may want to do part time work, rather than commit to one of our full time vacancies.
Vacancies for home-to-school drivers involve operating a morning and afternoon school for £97 per day. You'll work term time only, Monday to Friday (between 188 and 192 days per year). Sometimes, we may be able to find you work to do in-between your schools, but this is neither guaranteed or required. If you'd rather just do your AM and PM school, that is fine.
