Trainee Bus Driver

Fancy a change? We have excellent opportunities for Trainee Bus Drivers based at our Dumbarton Depot. Working with an established family business with over 50 years experience in the bus industry where management listen and care for your needs as best we can.

McColl's will provide training through our partner (GTG in Glasgow) to gain your PSV Licence worth over £3,000!

We operate services throughout Dumbarton, Clydebank & Kirkintilloch on modern, clean and reliable vehicles. Most of our service buses are no older than 3 years and range from 16 to 28 seats. Our services operate on behalf of SPT and run in quieter urban and rural areas where you will enjoy the benefits of a regular and friendly customer base.

We have late shifts (no later than midnight) available on rota, working on average 5 days per week. Some weeks have 3 rest days and long weekends off (all rest days together).
