We are currently recruiting permanent full and part-time Driver Guides at both our Glasgow and Edinburgh bases.
To be able to drive our mini coaches you must hold a Category D1 or D licence. Whilst this is an essential requirement, training to gain your category D1 licence may be offered to the right candidate/applicant.
Discover Scotland Tours are a family-owned business and have been operating a variety of tours throughout Scotland since 2006.
Our tours take in the very best of what Scotland has to offer, but it’s our driver-guides who enhance our visitors experience by providing a fun and informative insight into Scotland’s rich history, ancient culture, and breath-taking natural landscapes.
Being a driver-guide with Discover Scotland Tours is about much more than being able to drive our modern fleet of Mercedes 16 seat mini coaches.
To become a trainee driver with Discover Scotland Tours you must be aged at least 21. Have held a full UK driving licence for more than 12 months with no more than 3 penalty points.
You will receive all the necessary training, from obtaining your provisional licence to becoming fully qualified to drive our 16 seat mini coaches.
You will be paid a training rate of £10.65 per hour whilst working towards gaining your PCV Category D1 licence.
We would expect your training to take approximately 4-6 weeks. On qualification your rate will rise to £13.00 per hour.
To apply, please email a covering letter attaching your CV to careers@discoverscotlandtours.com
In the current climate of social distancing and bubbles, now more than ever may be the time to consider a private tour of Scotland for your family and friends.
