Mini Bus Driver

We are looking for a Mini Bus Driver to join Team OB in our Support Office.

As the Mini Bus Driver (Bonas Bus) you will be responsible for the morning and evening runs, collecting OB Team Members from Tolworth Train Station and bringing them to the OB Support Offices (SO) in Tolworth. This is a split shift starting from 05.45am until 09:45am and then again from 16:00 to 18:30. The role can be done by one person, or can be split between two.

Our Support Office is based in Tolworth, near Chessington, only a 30-minute journey from London Waterloo. We offer hybrid working with a split of 3 days in the office and 2 days home working per week, and are open to having conversations about working flexibly.
