Wells Beach Bus
This is a great opportunity to set up and run a fantastic new seaside bus service at Wells-Next-The-Sea. The service will launch summer 2022 and run daily to the end of October.
We have recently invested in two exciting vehicles. The Sigma 7, a new state-of-the-art fully electric bus, is the first of its kind in the UK. This bus will form the backbone of the operation. On the busiest days of the summer, the Sigma will be joined by a real classic. Our 1951 Leyland Tiger has a stunning history working across the Channel Islands, Edinburgh and a return to Jersey before we imported it last year. It is a one of a kind with its open top and optional canvas roof.

About you:
We are looking for a confident leader and a great communicator that gets on well with people. You must be patient, a safe driver, reliable and calm under pressure. This role really would suit a bus enthusiast as our Tiger bus is a real gem and this presents a rare opportunity to be involved in a vehicle with a lovely back story.
You must hold a Certificate of Professional Conduct and as minimum, a category D PCV driving licence. Experience of managing people, working with customers, preferably in a tourism/leisure business combined with an ability to work independently under your own initiative are all prerequisites for the manager role.
