Dublin Bus looking for Drivers

It can take a few weeks. Next step is bus driver theory test & CPC test usually done in santry. DB cover this and book for you and that's why your waiting. If you've already completed that they'll ring your references and you sign your contract soon after. Good Luck

Safety footwear is only supplied to the maintenance department. Drivers can wear whatever they like, with one stipulation that trainers can't have white soles.

Wear something you're comfortable driving with and remember that the yard will sometimes be wet and slippy.

Make sure your uniform is the right size because you could be waiting a long time for a replacement.

You will average €815 per week over 5 weeks. 2 weeks will be more because of Sundays, and 3 will be flat weeks. Overtime and rest days are paid extra. You can only do 11 hours overtime per week maximum. That includes your rest day. Basic is about 42.5k before o/t.

You could easily enough get up to 50K, doing rest-days and a few hours without killing yourself.

There's a 6 year pay-scale. Years 1 & 2 are the same, increased for years 3 & 4, another increase in year 5 and again in year 6. Top rate is almost 50k at the moment, and further increases of 3% are due in January 2024 and 2025. This will put the top rate up to over €52K by the start of 2025.

No need for any CVs as your work history/contact details will all be on the application form you do online.

Personally my family life is better, I'm in the job 4 years and see way more of the kids at better times of the day than a 9-5 does.

Just right now its the same thing every day in a office and any type of a change for a few years would be nice, .

Whats the situation if a driver resigned and a year later wants to return ?

And you treated like a newbie all over again ?

Crap duties, lowest pay grade ?

What is the salary with Dublin bus at the moment

Jesus

How many hours a week is that for?

Will Dublin bus get you your license aswell?

Is that Jesus a good one or a bad one ,

A good one

I work in healthcare

Hse contract and I don't earn that

I may look at driving if that's the case

I'v been strongly debating going for the job for 3 months now,

I just can't make my mind up , iv a decent office job but im getting sick of it , just same thing week in week out i should never have bene an office worker,

Only thing stopping me is iv 3 kids and taking a small pay cut but i could make that back in a few years,

Like after 5 year what could you be earning per year ?

Cheers Midnight,

Is it common to do much over time , like are you required to some times or do you do it by choice,
