Job Description

You'll carry passengers safely around Prospecton for a tour and charter company, on time and by the timetable. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Keep the bus clean inside and report any damage
Pick up and drop off schoolchildren only at approved points
Write the trip log with times, kilometres and fuel
Handle breakdowns calmly and keep passengers safe until help arrives
Follow speed limits strictly; buses are tracked
Give tourists a friendly welcome and help with luggage on charters

You'll need

Medically fit
Punctual for very early starts
Clean driving and criminal record
Valid PrDP for passengers (P)

Helpful, not essential

Experience on mine or staff transport routes
Fluent in more than one language
First-aid certificate

What you get

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): references from previous bus or taxi work plus medical certificate if you have a recent one.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
