General Hand

**Salary**

£550.50 per week (£14.68 per hour)

We need you

If you love driving large vehicles, doing a bit of DIY and don't mind getting your hands dirty but you're thinking "I fancy a change", "I want more variety" or "I want to work in a team", then we may just have exactly what you're looking for

You've probably seen some of our vehicles driving around east London transporting our fantastic customers across outer London.

Those customers rely on our services to get them to work, to the high street, to hospitals, to days away and nights out - and as part of our engineering team you'll be a key part in making sure our vehicles are in tip top condition to do just that. It's a really important role within our depot, so we'll make sure you're as looked after as our vehicles are

You'll have the responsibility for substituting vehicles on the road, taking buses to test centres, doing odd jobs around the garage and much more. Our buses include modern double deckers and single deckers as well as some new Electric buses which are now in service with us.

We'll train you on everything you need to know, and you'll be supported by a great team of Electricians, Mechanics, Technicians, Storespeople, Administrators and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job. We would prefer you to already have a PCV licence, but it is not essential, as we can train you to get one but those with a PCV licence will be given priority for this role.

Aside from the reward of helping to deliver an incredible experience to our customers, there's plenty more we can offer:

- **Job security **- we've been going since 1980, we turn over £1.3bn and we're not planning on hanging our boots up anytime soon
- **Free travel** - for you and a household member on TfL bus and rail services (this is a non-contractual benefit). That means on your days off (of which there are plenty) you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city without paying a fortune in fuel
- **A great regular income **and great benefits **- £14.68 per hour, to be precise, plus a good pension scheme to look after you when you retire.
- **Promotions **- perhaps you're happy sticking as a General Hand and that's fine by us, but if you want to progress we'll support you every step of the way. You will be given exposure to work which will develop your skills and experience to allow you to progress your career further. Many of our Stagecoach London Engineering Managers started off in more junior roles - so that could very well be you in the not too distant future
