🏆🏅 OUR DRIVERS WIN THE AWARDS 🏅🏆

So when Mark, one of our Fylde Villager bus drivers isn't out and about getting people to places, he volunteers at a variety of different clubs and social groups in Blackpool (infact we would say the bus driving gets in the way of the volunteering).

One of which is Forget Me Not Demitia Cafe in Blackpool. They are a cafe based at Marton United Reform Church and they provide a safe and caring place for those living with Dementia to go to chat with others in a similar position, be it patients, families or carers 🙏

Anyway they have been nominated for the Active Blackpool Awards and Mark and his group have only gone and WON!!!

Well done to the whole team at the Forget Me Not Dementia Cafe on winning a very derserved award 🏆🏆

🚍👥 FANCY A NEW JOB FOR SEPTEMBER 👥🚍

We have an opportunity for 2 drivers to join our Fylde Villager Team driving our four rural routes serving the villages of the Fylde Coast.

But what is Archway about??
We are trying to provide the customers who use our Fylde Villager Network with the best possible service we can, whilst the rest are out the winning awards and changing route numbers left right and centre, we are quietly working away to give our customers the best bus service we can. This is only achievable by having the best people we can driving our buses. We have an excellent team of drivers and we want to keep those high standards up by employing people who also want to provide the best possible service to our customers. If customers service is your thing then you are the sort of person we want!!!

🕛We have 26 duties each day which each encompass the whole variety of our routes and we aim to allow people to work a 4 day a week rota, that said the duties are long duties to allow this 4 day rota to be possible. Working a 4 day week allows drivers to be able to plan commitments and family time around their days off but also allows for those drivers who want to do some overtime to boost their wage.

🤗Customer Service is key and that is the motto we work to!!! We aim to provide the best possible service we can and this is only done by our team of people. From the drivers who are customer facing, politely saying good morning, dropping the step for passengers and waiting for passengers to be seated before setting off. We try our hardest to keep to the timetable and provide a reliable service but unfortunately the current state of roadworks and diversions can make this challenging somewhat.

📆Weekend working is something we insist on, our customers require the buses to run at weekends and as such we need people who are willing to do their fair share of weekends on their rota system. We have a full 26 duties on a Saturday and 9 duties on a Sunday so if you just want to work Monday to Friday each week, this is not the job for you.

☕ Breaks are taken at our dedicated break room in Poulton and drivers can sign on and off here if their duty allows it. If not we have a shuttle service from our Fleetwood Depot to get drivers where they need to be.

👨‍💼You have a dedicated team of operations managers who are on hand to answer any issues you have or any queries that arise throughout the day. They are all ex drivers and they will be out there driving with you if they need to to ensure every bus operates each and every day (something you would think is a given wouldn't you)

🏖️You are paid weekly with your payslips available on an app, you get 32 days per year holiday entitlement, company pension enrollment, staff passes for travel throughout the county on various operators services and what we would like the think is a generally nice place to work.

💰Drivers working a 4 day week with the occasional bit of overtime can easily achieve a salary of over £40000 per annum, we do not currently have any positions for part time hours.

If this sounds like the sort of job that interests you then please feel free to email us a copy of your CV to [email protected] or send us a message on our social media 🤳

🚊🚍 FLEETWOOD SHUTTLE BUS 🚊🚍

We are pleased to announce that, in partnership with Wyre Council and Fleetwood Markets, we will be continuing the current Shuttle Bus beyond the 1st September from the Tram Terminus at Elm Street to Lord Street and Fleetwood Market.

We will be operating Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 10am and 2.45pm and the shuttle will run continuously throughout this period.

We will be adding an additional stop at Albert Square and providing more access to the majority of Lord Street rather than Dock Street and serving all the stops along the route to allow you to gain access to your favourite shops and appointments aswell as access Fleetwood Market and all that they have to offer.

There are no plans currently to extend the service through to Fleetwood Ferry unfortunately and any passengers wishing to access the Ferry Terminus will have to use the Blackpool Transport Bus Service.

We look forward to providing this vital link to the businesses in Fleetwood.

⚪🔴 FANCY WORKING FOR FLEETWOOD'S NUMBER 1 BUS COMPANY🔴⚪

Whilst we await the new batch of stickers to apply to our buses to show how good we are, we thought we would stick a job advert out there and see if there are any keen and willing folk who want to join the team.

We are on the hunt for one, maybe two bus drivers to join our Fylde Villager Team on our network of routes serving the villages of Rural Fylde. We do try and look after our passengers, run to time and generally provide the best possible service that we can and after a driver handed his notice in to finish in a few weeks we thought it best to make sure we get a replacement in and trained up rather than just not bother running the services due to "No Driver".

We are currently looking to recruit the following person ideally:-
A Service Bus Driver who will be dedicated to our Fylde Villager Network. Covering a choice of 4 routes, you will proudly serve the villages of the Fylde Coast with what may have been described as "the best bus service we have ever had". If you are the sort of person who wants to work, who wants to get the hours in and who doesn't mind working weekends then this job is for you. We haven't got any Part Time Positions available and if weekends are an issue for you then there's not much point in applying because our passengers need to get out and about as much on a Saturday and Sunday as they do in the week so we need someone who is willing to do their fair share of weekends.

But why would you want to come and work for that lot in Fleetwood:-
1. You get to drive a modern fleet of well maintained buses through some cracking scenic routes, not just on the magic roundabout in town.
2. You get a break room to hide away from the general public and eat your sandwiches in peace.
3. You get to work with some of the funniest colleagues ever (well they think they are anyway).
4. You get a very stylish uniform (we think it is)
5. You get paid at the end of the week.
6. You get enrolled into a company pension.
7. You get a staff pass that enables you to travel throughout the Fylde Coast.
8. Access to PennyPost Credit Savings.
All we ask of you is the following:-
1. You turn up on time (our passengers expect their bus to arrive on time)
2. You look smart (There's something professional about a well dressed driver)
3. You interact with your customers (some of our passengers will not speak to anyone other than you in a day and that few seconds of interaction whilst boarding and alighting can literally make their day)
4. Don't damage my vehicles (they look smart and we want to keep them looking smart)
5. Be Patient (Most of our customers are 'mature' shall we say and they like it when the driver lowers the step for them, they like it when you wait until they sit down before you set off and they love it when you say hello with a smile)
6. Enjoy yourself (we spend as much time at work as we do at home some days so why not enjoy it - the day will go a lot quicker).

Pay (now this one will get the keyboard warriors going ⌨)
We pay you £14.42 per hour Monday to Friday and £15.45 per hour at weekends. I'm some of you will be on more and that is excellent for you but theres not much else we can do given the current fuel situation and daily rising costs.

If this sounds like the sort of madhouse that you feel you could fit into then please feel free to get in touch.

We have had a few applicants over the last couple of weeks but I thought a job advert wouldn't go amiss as their may be someone sitting on the fence thinking "I wonder if they are hiring".

Email your details to [email protected] please and we will go from there.

Thanks for reading folks!!!

Please note: previous applicants can apply, but don’t hold your breath…
