**What will I earn?**

The company has recently increased its pay rates to new and existing bus drivers; with new drivers earning £11 per hour following a short training period, rising to £12.83 per hour after a year in the job.

Existing bus driver licence holders joining the company will earn £12.83 per hour (£26,000) straight away.

This takes the basic annual wage for Go North East bus drivers on a guaranteed 39 hour week to £22,308 in the first year and £26,019 after year one (or straight away for existing licence holders) with regular opportunities to earn overtime each week on top of this.

Overtime is also regularly available if you'd like to boost your earnings - it's not uncommon for drivers to earn around £35,000 a year

**Where will I be based?**

Almost 2,000 people work at the company, driving and maintaining its fleet of 500 buses at garages across the region in Gateshead, Sunderland, Washington, North Tyneside, Hexham and Consett. We have ongoing vacancies at most locations and you can request which location you'd like to work at and we will try and accommodate or offer you the nearest location of your choice.

**Do I need to have a bus driving licence to apply?**

No previous bus driving experience is required to become a bus driver, thanks to our award-winning in-house Training Academy, where full training is provided free of charge. All we ask is that you have a minimum 6 months' driving experience.

We'll teach you how to drive a bus, put you through your bus driving test, whilst also covering accessibility and customer services training. Ongoing training will also be provided.
