Coach Tour Driver

Alfa Leisureplex Group has an opportunity for a Coach Tour Driver to work out of our Yorkshire region.
Coach Tour Driver working hours:
As a Coach Tour Driver you will work an average of 219 working days and a maximum 232 worked days with the average shift length of a Tour Driver is less than 8 hours.
Annual Salary of £30,500 with 29 days of paid holiday!
Being a Coach Tour Driver:
As a Coach tour Driver you will be allocated your own coach once you have completed your initial training and your week will start by operating a feeder route into one of our six interchanges situated throughout the country. You will then board customers for onward travel to resort and are then responsible for the excursions through the week. The importance of the driver to the success of the tour is important so we aim to keep the same driver on the tour with those customers until return to the interchange. You will then be allocated a return feeder route.
Our ideal candidate:
Previous experience of operating Coach Tours would be an advantage, but if it is something you are interested in, have the correct licence entitlement and are keen to learn then please do get in touch.
Customer service comes naturally as you will be representing the Alfa Travel brand throughout the holiday.
You will be a safe and efficient driver, comfortable with use of technology and a maximum of 3 point on your licence.
It is not for you if you like to spend a lot of time at home though. This is very much a lifestyle choice and you will be away on tour with limited time back at home.
