We are recruiting experienced and customer-focused PCV Drivers, Tour Guides and Driver-Guides (PVC D or D1) to join our teams in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness!
About Us
Established over 25 years ago, Timberbush Tours is an Edinburgh-based, family-owned business. Operating out of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Inverness, our 5-star, award-winning tours depart daily, offering a variety of 1, 2, and 3-day excursions across Scotland and Northern England. We also have a growing Private and Corporate Hire Department, catering to bespoke travel needs.
About the Role
You will be responsible for delivering our exceptional tours to both domestic and international travellers. As a Driver or Driver/Guide , you will operate one of our vehicles, which range from 10- to 32-seater coaches, providing safe and comfortable transportation while showcasing the very best of what Scotland has to offer.
As a Guide , you will accompany a Driver on the coach. This role requires a passion for storytelling, a knowledge of Scottish culture and history, and a talent for engaging audiences.
Requirements
For Drivers/Driver Guides , a full UK driving licence with category D entitlement and a valid CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) are essential for this role, as it involves driving a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV).
