The First Bus team
At First Bus, we know that our people thrive in strong, supportive teams — it’s something you’ll experience in every one of our depots. As we continue our transformation programme, we’re bringing together a great blend of experience, fresh perspectives and new ideas. We’re an inclusive team that genuinely enjoys what we do, wherever we are, similar to the well-known camaraderie of the Forces.
Naturally, this environment appeals to Service-leavers and Veterans. You bring a wealth of experience and highly transferable skills, especially around teamwork, discipline and leadership — not to mention the ‘can-do’ attitude we truly value and admire.
Moving the everyday!
We’re transforming. With our commitment to a fully electric fleet by 2035 and a continued focus on putting our customers at the heart of everything we do, this is a time of real change. Our goal is to reshape the industry, starting with ourselves, and to encourage more people to ‘think bus’. That’s why we’re especially keen to hear from Service-leavers and Veterans who are adaptable, resilient, and understand the importance of keeping to a schedule. First Bus, with a focus on development and setting you up for success to be, work and grow with us.
