The operators of the Bath City Sightseeing open‑top tours are seeking to recruit two Operations Trainees/Apprentices to assist the Operations Director and Transport Manager.

Applicants must be aged 18 or over, have an interest and enthusiasm for the transport and public service sectors, and be willing to work full time including during unsocial hours if required.

A car driving licence should be held, and candidates must be prepared to obtain a full PCV driving licence and an Operator’s Certificate of Professional Competence.

Applicants while gaining experience and training, will be required to oversee staff reporting and vehicle despatch following prescribed walk‑around checks, allocate staff to duties, react to operating situations, and attempt to ensure full compliance with bus service running arrangements.
