How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Newcastle; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Talk about safety records in the interview. Bus companies want to hear about zero accidents and on-time runs.
Write "PrDP P valid until" with the date, right at the top of your CV. It is the first thing a bus operator checks.
