Carousel Buses to host Wycombe driver recruitment day this weekend
1 month ago

Carousel Buses is inviting job hunters and those seeking a career change to learn more about its bus driver vacancies at a recruitment day this weekend.
The Wycombe-based bus operator is recruiting drivers as part of significant growth plans following its successful acquisition of Arriva’s operation last summer.
Held at the Holiday Inn at the Handy Cross Roundabout off the M40 on Sunday (19th January) between 10:00 and 15:00, the day will help people learn more about the role of a bus driver and employee benefits.
Existing PCV license holders are entitled to a £4,000 joining bonus while immediate start dates are being offered with flexible working patterns and industry-leading rates of pay available.
Visitors can even fast-track their application on the day by bringing proof of their eligibility to work in the UK and a current UK photocard driving license.
Carousel currently operates a fleet of 85 vehicles serving High Wycombe, Beaconsfield, Amersham, Chesham and Gerrards Cross, plus Reading, Henley-on-Thames, Uxbridge and Marlow.
Luke Marion, Managing Director of Carousel Buses, said: “Bus driving is a hugely rewarding role and provides a critical service to our customers so they can go about their day-to-day responsibilities.
“Our open days make the recruitment process as simple as possible, and we’d encourage anyone interested in learning more about a career as a driver to come along.
“We’ve had a positive initial response to the day, but there remains time to sign up for those who haven’t already. We look forward to speaking to a number of prospective drivers and, of course, will accept walk-ins from anyone who makes a last-minute decision to attend.”
Candidates need to have held a manual driving licence for 12 months and have experience in providing excellent customer service skills. A variety of shift patterns to accommodate differing lifestyles are available.
Full training is provided for all successful candidates and benefits include free bus travel for immediate family and a £4,000 joining bonus for existing PCV licence holders.
