Coachbuilder / Body Trainee - Walkergate depot

How would you like to join a comprehensive training programme?

How about gaining a fully-funded qualification in Bus and Coach body / coach building?

How about joining a company that operates over 8,000 vehicles, transporting customers in over 100

towns and cities across the UK?

If this sounds great so far, our Body Trainee Programme at Stagecoach could be just the ticket (sorry bus pun) if you're looking for a really rewarding career

And don't be put off by the word trainee - no matter what stage you are at in your career, we would love to welcome you into the Stagecoach family.

We have one of the most modern fleets in the UK and so we need brilliant engineers to keep our buses in tip-top condition for our customers.

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 perfect condition to do just that

It's a really important role within our depot but don't worry, we'll train you on everything you need to know, and you'll be supported by a great team of skilled body engineers and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.

"What does the programme involve?" we hear you ask

A two year programme spent on the job learning in the depot with an allocated mentor working towards a level 2 and 3 S/NVQ in Bus and Coach Body Repair and Maintenance.
You will also attend specialist training courses to consolidate your skills.

We'll support you every step of the way in your career with regular reviews.

You will be given exposure to work which will develop your skills and experience to allow you to progress your career further.

Aside from the reward of earning while you learn, gaining a recognised qualification and playing a crucial role in delivering an incredible experience to our customers, there's plenty more we can offer:

A competitive salary
and heaps of benefits
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 your companion on our buses. That means on your days off you can be off shopping for free without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city without paying a fortune in petrol or bus fares

The only things we need from you are 3 GCSEs at Grade C (or above) or Grade 4 (or above) or equivalent in English Language, Mathematics and a Science or 3 standard grades (3 or above) or National 4 or 5 in English Language, Mathematics and a Science.
