Eleven new jobs are set to be created following extra funding for bus routes.<\/p>\n
Planned enhancements include an increase in frequency for the popular Morebus 13 route between Bournemouth and Wimborne via Ferndown.<\/p>\n
The bus operator has seen demand for its services rise over recent months.<\/p>\n
It has been working with BCP Council to secure funding from the government\u2019s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP).<\/p>\n
Andrew Wickham, Morebus Managing Director, said: \u201cThis investment by the government is part of a strategy to make further enhancements to services across England.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt fits in perfectly with our own mission to make bus travel the transport of choice for those living across our region.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have received funding, so that we can make a number of improvements to our offering here.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of which is to increase the frequency of our 13 route, which connects Bournemouth with Wimborne, to every 20 minutes from February 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn order to fulfil these extra journeys, we have 11 new job opportunities for drivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are inviting people to boost the start of their 2024 with an application to join our team.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs well as inviting those who have experience as bus drivers, we are looking to welcome people without qualifications.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe provide full, paid, training with no previous experience required.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an excellent opportunity for anyone seeking a new challenge \u2013 particularly those who held temporary Christmas roles in retail and hospitality.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese applicants are particularly welcome because many hold invaluable skills in customer service.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew joiners will receive training, uniform and free travel for themselves and a nominee.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to welcoming some new faces to the Morebus family in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
