“I’ve never had a job like this before. I feel supported, valued, and I love arriving at the depot every day.”
Mike, Stagecoach Bus Driver
3. Become part of a community
Nothing beats walking into work and being surrounded by great friends, supportive colleagues, and happy passengers. This is what the Stagecoach community feels like. And whether you’re at the bus depot or out on the open road, you’ll be around people who want you to succeed. Plus, with sports teams to quiz nights, social clubs to charity work, you’ll have endless opportunities to make lifelong friendships and have fun.

Because of the variety of routes, you drive, and the number of people who use your bus, you’ll meet and interact with lots of different people every day.
