At times, you will be required to drive non-passenger carrying vehicles such as cars to enhance the visitor offer or for special events.

• A willingness to work collaboratively with a wide range of individuals.
• The ability to adhere to safety management systems and training and/or assessment protocols, including any specific restraints or requirements concerning individual vehicles.
Applicants will be subject to a Transport Driver initial driving assessment and only those that pass this will be considered for the formal skills training.
Successful candidates will then receive:
• A training programme encompassing driver, conductor and banksman responsibilities starting with Motorbuses.
• Continued support from experienced trainers.
• A training pack including checklists, notes and supporting images of the fleet.
