In the pivotal role of a Bus Conductor, you will be fundamental to the seamless daily operation of our bus services.

Beyond these transactional duties, you will transform into an invaluable information hub for passengers, offering clear, concise, and helpful details regarding routes, schedules, connections, and points of interest within Manchester. You will be instrumental in fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere on board, proactively assisting passengers with boarding and alighting – paying particular attention to individuals with special needs, reduced mobility, or those travelling with prams – and tirelessly working to ensure their complete comfort throughout their trip.
We are seeking candidates who consistently uphold the highest standards of customer service, possess outstanding verbal communication skills, and can maintain a composed and professional demeanor, even amidst the hustle and bustle of peak service times. You will bear the critical responsibility of adhering strictly to safety regulations, courteously monitoring passenger conduct to ensure a respectful environment for all, and working in close, collaborative partnership with the bus driver to guarantee smooth, punctual, and efficient operations. This demanding yet rewarding role calls for exceptional punctuality, robust interpersonal abilities, and an unwavering commitment to maintaining a clean, tidy, and orderly bus environment. If you flourish in a fast-paced, public-facing environment and are genuinely eager to make a positive, tangible contribution to the daily lives of Manchester’s residents and visitors, we wholeheartedly encourage your application. Embark on a career where your dedication directly enhances the efficiency, safety, and public image of local transport, creating a positive impact with every single journey you oversee. We are committed to providing comprehensive, industry-leading training to ensure you are thoroughly prepared to excel in this pivotal position, coupled with clear pathways for professional advancement within the thriving transportation sector.
