Bus Éireann announce open days for female bus drivers

Bus Éireann is actively recruiting for drivers across the island of Ireland to join their growing team.

As the national public transport network continues to grow, Bus Éireann needs more drivers, and as part of our Inclusive Recruitment Strategy we are targeting an increase of at least 10% representation of female drivers and supervisors by 2030.

A career driving with Bus Éireann offers drivers a permanent secure job with a competitive salary and generous benefits and conditions including a 39-hour working week, pension, GP scheme, travel scheme and recognition awards for long service and safe driving.

Bus Éireann has also established training programme for B licence holders to convert to D licences giving applicants every opportunity to succeed on the road ahead.

This new initiative makes it easier for regular licence holders to become a bus driver (D licence holder) with training provided as part of their employment with Bus Éireann. 

Radio, TV Broadcaster and Author Anna Geary said:

“I am delighted to support Bus Éireann with their driver recruitment campaign. It is fantastic to see them holding so many female driver open days around the country on March 24.

“I have met some inspiring drivers taking part in this campaign and I would encourage anyone who thinks a career in bus driving with Bus Éireann might be for them to get down to their local open days.

“The team at Bus Éireann will be there to answer all your questions and who knows - It could be Your Best Move!”

Open Days allow the public to engage in meaningful conversations with colleagues, gain insights into the company and apply for exciting job openings.
