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).

Opportunities

However, we also recognise the potential in candidates who are passionate about guiding but do not yet have their PCV license. For the right candidate, Timberbush Tours offers assistance through our training program to help you achieve your PCV license. This is an excellent development opportunity for both existing and new Tour Guides who aspire to advance their careers and take on the role of Driver Guide.

What We Offer

Our tours are more than just sightseeing–they are an adventure, an epic story, creating memories that stay with our guests for a lifetime. At Timberbush Tours, we’re not just guides–we’re storytellers, adventurers, and ambassadors of Scotland’s rich heritage.
