MOREBUS is offering people impacted by the pandemic the chance to re-train as bus drivers. 

The bus operator is looking to recruit drivers to operate its services across the region, and is keen to ensure all those living within the area have the opportunity to apply. 

Morebus heads of communications, Nikki Honer, said: “Whatever the reasons [for unemployment], now is an excellent time to think about a return to work.

"And Morebus is ready-and-waiting to provide training and an excellent working environment for those wishing to try something new.

"We offer flexible hours - with three day weeks available for those who wish to work part-time. Full time roles are also on offer. 

“We are especially on the look out for anyone with excellent customer service skills to come and join us - and I have no doubt there are plenty of candidates who fit the bill here in Dorset."

Anyone over 18, regardless of age and gender, can apply.

Successful applicants will receive full training, uniform and free travel for themselves and a nominee. The average weekly ‘take home’ salary for a Morebus driver is £430.
