* Standard working week will consist of an average of 50 hours per week.
* Latest shift finishing time of 19:45.

You’ll be one of 35 who transport our fantastic customers safely and comfortably every day to, from and around the site at Sellafield. Aside from the satisfaction of being a key worker in your community, there are many reasons for you to join the Stagecoach in Cumbria and North Lancashire team:
* Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme, 28 days holiday, free travel for you, your partner & up to 2 children, free financial education and affordable loans, and a range of money-saving opportunities including discounts on holidays and retail, cinema outings, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover, and hotels and attractions.

* Plenty of job security from being a key worker at the heart of our communities, where we always need great people behind the wheel.
* UK-wide opportunities whereby if you’re moving out of choice or circumstance, as we run bus companies across the UK, you can transfer to a new location.
* Supportive and high-quality training from some of the best (and nicest!) driving instructors and training managers in the industry – we’ll teach you everything you need to know about our routes, our vehicles, our tickets, and more.
* Career development including our Trade Up scheme for drivers who want to move into engineering, promotion opportunities to Lead Driver, Inspector, Controller, and Driving Instructor, and routes into management and leadership for those who want that.
* Secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in the business – either on big events like Silverstone and Cheltenham Festival or into our head office support functions.
* An employee assistance programme to support health and wellbeing through a confidential service available 24 hours a day, providing specialist guidance and assistance on a range of personal and work-related issues, from dealing with stress and anxiety to managing financial, marital, or legal issues. Face-to-face counselling sessions are also offered, alongside telephone and online support.
* A great working environment with loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great workmates, and managers who work hard to create great places to work, and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural, and LGBTQ+ colleagues.
