Bus Éireann is actively recruiting for drivers across the island of Ireland to join its growing team, hosting five open days across the country on Sunday, 24 March.
As part of the Bus Éireann’s ‘Inclusive Recruitment Strategy’, the company is aiming to increase its number of female drivers and supervisors by 10% by the end of the decade.
The Galway open day will take place at Harbour Hotel, The Docks, Galway City, from 10am to 3pm. Other open days will take place in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Waterford.
Bus Éireann offers drivers a permanent secure job with a competitive salary and generous benefits and conditions including a 39-hour working week, pension, GP scheme, travel scheme and recognition awards for long service and safe driving.
The company has also established training programme for B licence holders to convert to D licences giving applicants every opportunity to succeed on the road ahead.
This new initiative makes it easier for regular licence holders to become a bus driver (D licence holder) with training provided as part of their employment with Bus Éireann.
Radio, TV broadcaster and author Anna Geary said that she was delighted to support Bus Éireann with their driver recruitment campaign.
“It is fantastic to see them holding so many female driver open days around the country on March 24th,” she said.
“I have met some inspiring drivers taking part in this campaign and I would encourage anyone who thinks a career in bus driving with Bus Éireann might be for them to get down to their local open days. The team at Bus Éireann will be there to answer all your questions and who knows – It could be Your Best Move!”
The Open Days allow the public to engage in meaningful conversations with Bus Éireann colleagues, gain insights into the company, and apply for exciting job openings.
