Double figure bus driver jobs up for grabs at Stagecoach's Sunderland depot
Qualified bus drivers can apply via the Stagecoach website
If you are interested in a career on the buses then Stagecoach North East has announced it is looking to recruit new drivers to its Sunderland depot.
Situated just a goal kick away from the Stadium of Light at North Bridge Street, the Sunderland depot is inviting qualified PCV licence holders to explore a career with one of the region's leading public transport operators.
The recruitment drive comes as Stagecoach looks to welcome experienced, customer-focused drivers into a depot that has built an outstanding reputation not only for operational excellence, but also for creating a supportive and inclusive workplace.
Stagecoach chiefs have confirmed today (June 29) they are looking to take on 10 new drivers.
Colin Newbury, operations director at Stagecoach North East, said: "We're proud of the fantastic team we've built at Sunderland and we're now looking for talented drivers to help strengthen our award-winning depot.
"Our drivers play a vital role in keeping Sunderland moving every day, connecting people with work, education, healthcare, family and friends.
“As well as offering a rewarding career, we're committed to creating a workplace where colleagues feel valued, supported and able to thrive.
"If you're a qualified bus driver looking for your next opportunity, we'd love to hear from you and welcome you to our team."
