Welcome on board with Reading Buses

Welcome on board with Reading Buses

Off By Ed Hanna

Reading Buses has been transporting people for over a hundred years and we are one of the biggest, and most trusted, employers in the region.

Who are we?
We have over 120 buses in Reading, including 60 that run on compressed natural gas to reduce emissions and we are always exploring ways in which we can improve the environment of the town and the surrounding area.

We also own two other bus companies in the local area, Newbury & District and Thames Valley Buses, so whether you are based in the Reading, Newbury or Bracknell areas, there are roles for you.

Why Reading Buses?
All of the above and more! Reading Buses is incredibly inclusive and supportive of people from all backgrounds and have experience in employing ex-Forces personnel. We recognise that the skills you have learned are extremely transferable into our driving roles.

We love celebrating our people – as well as a Star of the Month scheme to recognise those employees who are doing amazing things, we regularly celebrate our long-serving employees. We have many workers who have been with the company between 20-40 years, which is testament to the culture at Reading Buses.

What do I get?

  • Award-winning training from our in-house academy.
  • Salaries vary between our three companies and depend on what role and what rota you are on, but you can expect a minimum of £28,000 up to £35,000 with plenty of opportunities for overtime to increase your earning potential.
  • We run our training courses in-house so each year you will be able to refresh your understanding and skills.
  • Free travel for you and your family (one person in your household plus up to two dependents) on our entire network.
  • High Street discounts through an online app – including supermarkets, holidays and cinemas.
