Imagine seeing beautiful coastal sceneries outside your window every day when you go for a drive. Think of having the freedom to enjoy life at a slower, more deliberate pace. Picture yourself breathing in fresh air.
Maybe it’s time for you to relocate to the west coast of Scotland and live the life you’ve always wanted.
Company offers bus driver jobs in Scotland’s scenic west coast
West Coast Motors offers jobs in places like Oban, Ardrishaig and Campbeltown where people feel like they’re part of their local communities. Everyone is a familiar face and residents know their bus drivers by name.
For Chris Hoon, a supervisor, it’s a perfect fit. He shares: “For years I’ve been here, driving buses in places that I didn’t know existed. It’s some of the most beautiful parts of the world. I say that to people and I think they think it’s an exaggeration. But it’s really not. You see the town of Oban on a beautiful day and it’s just out of this world.”
Area operations manager John Murray agrees. He says: “The most stunning place I’ve come across so far since I’ve been here is going down to Easdale. As you come along the road, you climb up a little hill past a little old church, and you come to this bend and if you turn around this bend, the whole glen opens up. And you see out into the Atlantic. You see the islands. You see the outcrops of lochs sticking up from the sea. And oh, it’s breathtaking.
“I was doing a run a couple of weeks back and one of my passengers turn around and said, ‘You must be the luckiest bus driver alive. This must be the most beautiful route that anybody can have.’ And I thought to myself, ‘Yes.’ ”
